The Modi government under Minister Nitin Gadkari (MORTH) has made road construction a key area of development for the country and we are seeing the appropriate resources applied, to substantiate their (the governments) promises.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Road construction through new hands allows governments, infrastructure and mining companies to deliver cost-effective and safer roads more quickly, compared with conventional building methods.<\/span><\/p>\n

India has an existing road network of over 4,689,842 kilometres the second largest road network in the world. Most of these roads are in poor condition and need rehabilitation and constant maintenance. The Government is also widening and extending these existing highways and State expressways.<\/span><\/p>\n

The road sector in India is in desperate need of new technologies. Not only to improve speed and quality, but also to introduce more environmentally friendly road construction techniques, to cut down on quarrying, transportation of materials and use of water & fuel.<\/span><\/p>\n

India is a country on the move! Innovative infrastructure development technologies are essential to deliver the economic growth that quality transport infrastructure can deliver. From in-situ stabilization<\/a>, dust and erosion control<\/a>, and mine management technologies, we need processes and plant to help deliver results.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course, the ambitious targets in both road and mining sectors will drive the growth of India \u2013 however there needs to be faster take up and approval of proven technologies \u2013 otherwise the targets set seem to be challenging.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indian road infrastructure is undergoing phenomenal growth<\/a> for the past 15 years and will continue to grow at higher rates in coming years under the Ministry of Road Transport and\u00a0Highways. Accordingly, the requirement of soil or aggregate for infrastructure has increased and reached a level where availability of basic materials has become a constraint on development. Non-availability of suitable soil and aggregates has made projects unviable and cost-prohibitive. Some projects are running into significant overruns as a direct consequence. All these factors have delayed several important projects and, in some cases, state governments are even denying development in certain aggregate-deficient regions. This scarcity will increase further considering environmental conservation and restriction on mining in several states.<\/span><\/p>\n
