Description
Description | The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) awarded fewer road projects in FY26, with a total of 3,124 km awarded, down 22% year-on-year and below the target of approximately 4,500 km. The slowdown is attributed to delays in project appraisal and approval and limited private sector participation in build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects. Road construction 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 outlook for FY27 remains challenging with no increase in budgetary allocation for NHAI and limited scope for near-term recovery in project awards. |
