Under Bharatmala Pariyojana, contracts have been awarded for constructing 26,425 km of highways across India, with 19,826 km completed, as per information tabled in the Lok Sabha.

The programme aims to enhance logistics efficiency, connectivity to tribal and aspirational districts, and reduce highway accidents, ensuring safer transportation networks, Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari stated in a written reply. As of February 2024, 6,669 km of high-speed greenfield corridors have been sanctioned, with 4,610 km completed. The project integrates smart technologies, including AI-assisted construction, LIDAR, and drone-based analytics.

India's National Highway network has grown 60 percent in the past decade, from 91,287 km in 2014 to 146,195 km in 2024, making it the second-largest road network globally, according to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).

MoRTH is developing 35 multimodal logistics parks (MMLPs) under Bharatmala Pariyojana, with a total investment of Rs 46,000 crore, aiming to handle 700 million tonne of cargo. Among them, 15 priority locations will receive Rs 22,000 crore in funding. These MMLPs will act as regional cargo hubs, linking industrial zones, agricultural regions, and EXIM gateways like seaports through multi-modal connectivity. Some will also integrate with Inland Waterway Terminals under Sagarmala Pariyojana, reducing inland cargo transport costs.

To ensure last-mile connectivity to all operational ports, MoRTH has developed a Port Connectivity Masterplan, identifying 59 critical infrastructure projects covering 1,300 km for implementation, according to an official statement.
