Modi govt has a Rs 20-lakh crore highway plan to double the travel speed to nearly 90 kmph across the country

Once finalized, this initiative is poised to nearly double the average travel speed on the National Highway (NH) network from the existing 47 kmph to an impressive 85 kmph. A comparison reveals that the current average travel speed on highways in the US exceeds 100 kmph, while in China, it stands at 90 kmph
