Less-than-2-lane NH stretches shrink to 8% as high-speed corridors surge
India has reduced its national highway stretches with less than two lanes to 8%. High-speed corridors have grown more than twelve times over the last nine years. Officials state that trucks move faster on these new expressways than on traditional highways. The government plans to build about 51,000 kilometers of access-controlled corridors in the next decade. This plan aims to lower logistics costs and improve transport efficiency.
India's national highway system has undergone remarkable enhancements, reducing two-lane stretches to only 8%. In the past nine years, high-speed corridors have expanded over twelve times.
