| Within a few days of taking charge as road transport and highways minister, Kamal Nath has sprung into action, readying plans to revamp the award process of the National Highways Development Programme (NHDP).

Nath is expected to meet all major infrastructure players such as GMR, GVK, Gammon India, Reliance Infrastructure, Soma, Simplex, Madhucon and Hindustan Construction Company.
“We have been invited by Nath to discuss the problems that we are facing. We plan to bring to the table the problems of shortage of credit and undue interference from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), and land acquisition-related issues,” the head of a major infrastructure company told The Indian Express.
