India is building a massive high-speed expressway network
India is rolling out plans for a massive 17,000km high-speed expressway grid over the next 5-7 years.
The goal? Smoother travel, faster deliveries, and better links between major cities—think of it as an upgrade to the roads that already connect Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata.
Why it matters
Right now, moving stuff across India is expensive—logistics eat up about 11-12% of the country's GDP.
This new expressway push aims to cut those costs and make life easier for businesses (and travelers).
With ₹11 trillion being invested and projects have already been awarded for over half the network, experts say it could create new industrial hubs and totally change how we get around.
If you care about how India grows or just want less time stuck in traffic someday soon, this is one to watch.
