In what spells trouble for the infrastructure sector, around Rs 25,000-crore highways projects are awaiting funding and seeking extension of financial closure deadline. These projects constitute 23 packages and comprise 2,500 km of construction.
The project award pace of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has also slowed down with just over 600 km of highway projects awarded in the first half of the financial year against the ambitious target of 9,500 km set by the prime minister, said Minister for Roads and Highways C P Joshi.
