Highways to Progress

India’s journey in transforming its road infrastructure is a tale of evolution, innovation, and collaboration, reflecting a significant shift from traditional government-led projects to a dynamic, inclusive framework involving public-private partnerships (PPPs). This transformation, which spans over three decades, represents a pivotal chapter in India’s development, marking its transition into a modern economic powerhouse with a robust infrastructure at its core.
