The road transport and highways ministry is in the process of awarding 7,500 km of new highways projects, with an investment of Rs 3.1 trillion, as part of the second phase of Bharatmala Pariyojana. The projects include six expressways of 2,250km, with an investment of Rs 1.45 trillion and 16 greenfield corridors of 5,250 km at Rs 1.65 trillion. Construction has been initiated on three corridors, which will include the Delhi-Mumbai expressway, Trans Rajasthan and Trans Haryana and will be completed by 2022.
The ambitious target of constructing 15,000 km of National Highways by 2020 will mean a colossal consumption of aggregates, estimated to be about 150 million tonnes, even though National Highways constitute only 2% of the total road network. Though construction of roads is necessary for a growing economy, it is also necessary to curb exploitation of natural resources and reduce emission of greenhouse gases during construction. To make this happen, it will be essential to recycle and reuse bituminous materials, using milling technologies.
The increase in the number of construction activities around the globe leads to development, which is a never-ending process. The constant construction activities in every part of the globe increases the demand for construction equipment, not only in terms of volume but also to innovate and evolve. Manufacturers are constantly innovating and bringing innovations to markets of all sizes and types. Additionally, mobility solutions have also been keeping pace as construction equipment continues to evolve.
