The expansion of modern infrastructure in India has now become the new pace of development. Highways, tunnels, rail corridors and smart technology have established the country’s engineering capability at the international level. Mega projects are not only making travel easier but are also creating a strong foundation for economic growth.
New Delhi. The pace at which India has expanded modern infrastructure in the last decade has attracted the world’s attention. Not only have big highways, expressways and rail networks been built rapidly in the country, but with the help of technology, there has been tremendous improvement in both the quality and speed of their construction. Mega projects like the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, dedicated freight corridors (DFCC), and state-of-the-art airports have taken India’s project management capabilities to new heights. These developments are not just on paper, but are changing the face of people in every corner of the country by making life and business easier.
Mega projects which became symbols of engineering
Many big projects in India today are considered miracles of engineering. The world’s longest high-altitude tunnel like Atal Tunnel has made movement in the Himalayas easier. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Corridor is bringing India into the category of high-speed transport. Projects like the Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor and Pragati Maidan Infrastructure are examples of modern design and reliable technology. These projects are not only helping in completing the journey in less time but also opening new opportunities for industries, employment and business. The foundation of future cities and industries will rest on these development works.
Technology changed the pace of engineering
The role of technology in India’s modern infrastructure has been extremely important. Drone survey, artificial intelligence, 3D mapping and pre-fabricated construction technology have helped a lot in completing the projects on time. Modernity has got a new direction in Railways through Vande Bharat trains, semi-high speed tracks and electrification. Under the Smart City Mission, digital monitoring, smart traffic system and green construction techniques are being adopted in cities. Steps like green highways and use of plastic waste in road construction are taking India forward towards eco-friendly development.
Way forward: Aiming to make India a world-class infrastructure hub
India is moving rapidly towards becoming a global infrastructure hub in the coming years. Ganga-wise ports, multi-modal logistics parks, and new airports are great examples of this. Increasing investment on infrastructure will not only provide convenience to passengers and industries, but will also strengthen the country’s economy. Experts believe that if projects continue to be completed at this pace, then in the coming decade, India will be included among those countries of the world where infrastructure meets high standards of quality, safety and technology. The foundation of modern India now rests firmly on these marvels of engineering, which is preparing the country for the next level of development journey.
