Hmmm the news also said that twenty road projects worth Rs.27,000 crore totalling 2,900km failed to receive any bids between March last year and October. The ministry awarded just 1,322km of road projects in the year ended 31 March against a target of 9,500km.
Yes Shailaja the road ministry has approved 14 highway projects under the engineering, procurement and construction model as it fails to attract private investments. And the PM has also approved the 14 projects!
