Construction, award of highway projects at 7-year low in 2025-26 Highway construction and new project awards in 2025-26 hit a seven-year low, with less than 10,000 km built and only 7,000 km awarded. This decline is attributed to stricter land availability pre-conditions and fewer state highways being converted to National Highways. Agencies are prioritizing economic corridors and expressways to avoid project delays and cost escalations. #2025-26 #National_Highways #2025-26_hit #seven-year_low #2025-26_Highway #Highway_construction #project_awards #Construction #low #highway_projects
