This comprehensive analysis by Biltrax Construction Data examines Roads & Highways sector developments across the North, East, and West Zones for FY 2024-25. Leveraging data from the BX-2 platform, the report highlights the significant trends and the leading players driving construction activities in these regions.
As India accelerates its infrastructure journey, the Roads & Highways sector continues to be a cornerstone—boosting connectivity, fueling economic momentum, and unlocking regional potential. This in-depth ‘Zonal Analysis: Series 4’ explores the key developments, trends, and initiatives shaping the Roads & Highways sector across three significant regions: North, East, and West India.
The series will offer detailed insights into major projects, investments, and policy initiatives during FY 2024-25, contributing to the growth and modernization of India’s road network.
Overview
In FY 2024–25, the North Zone emerged as a key driver of cross-border connectivity and all-weather access to the Himalayan states. The government advanced the Bharatmala Pariyojana’s Himalayan corridors, with projects such as the Delhi–Amritsar–Katra Expressway and upgrades to the Manali–Leh and Srinagar–Kargil routes. These further ensured faster movement of goods and tourists across difficult terrains. With over 1,200 Km of highways under construction in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, the region is being more closely integrated with national economic corridors, further strengthening both border trade and tourism-linked infrastructure.
During FY 2024–25, the East Zone continued to strengthen connectivity between industrial hubs, mining belts, and ports, supporting regional trade and exports. Key highway projects advanced under the Gati Shakti and Bharatmala initiatives during this period. These included the Kolkata–Siliguri Expressway in West Bengal, four-laning of sections like Balasore–Jharpokharia and Chandikhole–Paradip in Odisha, and improvements along the Ranchi–Tata NH-33 corridor in Jharkhand. These projects not only improved port-linked logistics and industrial connectivity but also enhanced access to the Northeast and eastern hinterlands. By integrating key economic corridors with national highways, the East Zone solidified its role in resource-based and trade-driven infrastructure development.
During the same financial year, the West Zone stood out for its scale of expressway and corridor development. This further reinforced the zone’s role as India’s logistics and industrial backbone. The region saw major progress on the Mumbai–Delhi Expressway, along with feeder routes across Gujarat and Rajasthan that link industrial clusters to ports and metro cities. Maharashtra accelerated work on port-connectivity highways and urban ring roads. Meanwhile, Gujarat advanced corridors supporting petrochemical and manufacturing hubs. These initiatives collectively strengthened freight efficiency and regional integration, positioning the West Zone as a benchmark for highway-driven economic growth.
