The minister underscored the importance of these projects in building a future-ready integrated transportation system, stating that they will strengthen multimodal connectivity, unlock new economic opportunities, promote balanced regional development, and enhance India's overall logistics competitiveness.
Gadkari also reviewed key implementation bottlenecks and instructed all stakeholders to resolve pending issues on priority to accelerate project execution. He said the timely completion of these initiatives would improve logistics efficiency, reduce transportation costs, and provide world-class infrastructure and amenities for commuters, while supporting the government's Viksit Bharat and Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.
