The next infrastructure maniac? India Invests 7 Trillion, Plans to Build 80,000 Kilometers of Highway in Five Years?

Hello and welcome to this edition of Science and Technology Overview.

As we all know, China has achieved very good results in the field of infrastructure in recent years. According to relevant statistics, China has the largest number of communication base stations, almost 20 times the number of the United States, and China has the largest number of bridges in the world. It can be said that no country can match China's status as a bridge. < br/>

Not only that, China's infrastructure technology has also gone to the world. Many countries have taken a fancy to China's advanced infrastructure technology. Coupled with China's reasonable price, China's infrastructure has occupied a large part of the international market. For example, the highway that China helped Pakistan build earlier was completed two weeks ahead of schedule.

Nowadays, many countries have gradually realized the importance of infrastructure for national economic development, and have launched various infrastructure projects to stimulate domestic demand. Like India, our neighbor, India's economy has also developed well in recent years, just like our country catching up with the United States.

India has always regarded China as a catch-up target. According to relevant sources, India has adopted a transport infrastructure plan, which is expected to spend 7 trillion rupees to improve the domestic highway network, and plans to build more than 80,000 kilometers of highways in five years. < br/>

The disclosure of the news also made many people unable to believe that India is going to become the next "infrastructure maniac"? You know, even in China, after decades of rapid development, the total mileage of expressways is only 140000 kilometers, and it is expected to exceed 150000 kilometers by 2020.

Now India has to build 80000 kilometers of highways in five years. Of course, this indirectly shows India's determination to improve its local highway network. You know, although India has more than 8 million kilometers of highway mileage, the proportion of highways is pitifully small. < br/>

It is urgent to improve and build more highways. Let's wait and see if we can accomplish this feat in five years.
