Goods and services could soon be cheaper. The Transport Ministry is looking to award contracts for 10 mega highways over the next two years, with each highway running an average distance of over 1,000 kms. These mega highways are expected to be a boon to the Indian economy giving a fillip to India`s infrastructure and help cut down the time and cost of transporting goods. While the main barrier to Kamal Nath`s pet project will be acquiring land, steps are being taken by the government to expedite the acquisition so that the project can start on time. With Rs 2 trillion worth of projects to be awarded in the next two years, infrastructure companies are also expected to benefit.
