India has embarked on a rapid pace of road development since after late 1990s by giving a high priority to highway development. The back ground to this is the economic liberalization that was kick-started in 1992. The National Highway Development Programme (NHDP) was the first major programme launched in 1997 to develop a large highway network across the country. The Public Private Partnerships (PPP) was adopted as a means of road and highway development in India starting from 2001, given the larger challenges and the need for leveraging private investments into the sector.
