India has the second largest road network in the world of 5.8 million km, comprising national highways, state highways and urban and rural roads. National highways in India account for 2% of the total road network and carry about 40% of passenger traffic. This article explores India's road construction and mining sector achievements.

The Indian government is encouraging the PPP (Public–Private–Partnership) model in the highway sector to increase the pace of road construction. An analysis of future trends indicates that road construction projects in India are set to increase, and new technologies will be required to fulfil this need. In India, the Government has laid a foundation of digitisation in road construction with its ‘Digital India’ mission and various other schemes. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is encouraging the implementation of a Value Engineering Program to promote the use of new, emerging and advanced technologies. Moreover, it is encouraging new and advanced technologies in road construction and development to achieve the following objectives:
- Increase the road construction rate
- Making the project eco-friendly
- More efficient lifecycle cost management
