This decision underscores the government's commitment to advancing infrastructure projects under Gadkari's leadership.

During his tenure, Gadkari has prioritised the expansion and modernization of India's road and highway network, aiming to enhance connectivity and reduce travel times across the country. His reappointment signals confidence in his ability to steer critical infrastructure initiatives forward, including the ambitious Bharatmala Pariyojana and the development of expressways.

Under Gadkari's stewardship, the Ministry has focused on innovative approaches to infrastructure development, emphasising efficiency, sustainability, and quality. His tenure has also seen significant strides in adopting new technologies and best practices to accelerate project execution and ensure transparency in governance.
