Summary
India has embarked on a massive Rs 111-lakh-crore infra push for the next five years, and roads will play a pivotal role in terms of outlay.
While there has been a slowdown in road projects, it should gain pace in four to five months, according to Virendra Mhaiskar, chairman and managing director of IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd.
All machineries—whether the National Highway Authority of India or state governments and private sector—will be instrumental in achieving the development targets, Mhaiskar told BQ Prime in an exclusive interview. “Private sector will act as a catalyst and enabler in making this happen,” he said.
