Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said this in a virtual address at the 12th International convention of Association of National Exchanges Members of India which was held in Mumbai on Saturday.

After a period of 12-13 years, the investments will be fully recovered from those state highways along with interests and land acquisition costs, Gadkari added. He urged that investments in the infrastructure sector of the country will be risk-free and yield good returns and called for cooperation in the investment for infrastructure.

“The financial markets need to come up with innovative models to fund India’s Infrastructure growth. We are inviting investments in the PPP model. We can export energy to the world if we channel our investments to waste management, green hydrogen, solar, and several such projects. Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Science, and Technology is the wealth of future India,” he added.

Speaking about infrastructure development, the Minister said: “We are planning a green express highway between Mumbai and Bangalore.
