Description
Description | The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) awarded 3,124 km of road projects in the financial year 2025-26, which is a 22% decline year-on-year and below the target of approximately 4,500 km. Construction activity during FY26 stood at 5,313 km, a marginal 5% decline from the previous year but exceeding the internal target of 5,000 km. The slowdown in project awards is attributed to delays in project appraisal and approval and limited private sector participation in build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects. The outlook for FY27 remains challenging with no increase in budgetary allocation for NHAI and limited scope for near-term recovery in project awards. |
