A huge development of roads is expected in India. The Indian Government has plans to spend around US$15.29 billion on building 10,000km of roads in the North-East of the country. A significant portion, around $3.73 billion, will be used on roads development in Arunachal Pradesh. One key project now commencing is for the widening of the Akola-Murtizaur segment of National Highway 6. The $7.46 billion project is expected to be complete by 2020.
In addition a new six-lane highway should be complete between Mumbai and Nagpur by 2018. The new road will reduce the travel time between the cities to 10 hours from the current 16-18 hours. The state government is considering further plans to widen the highway to eight lanes, should it be able to acquire the land necessary. Meanwhile, 3,839km of roads in Maharashtra State are to be upgraded into highways.
