NHAI Rolls-Out 19 Highway Projects Worth Rs 56,000 Crore To Private Players On Build-Operate-Transfer Mode
Stepping up centre’s efforts to revive private investment in the highways sector, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has identified 19 projects, involving a cumulative investment of around Rs 56,000 crore.
