He provided examples of how his ministry cut construction costs for infrastructure projects by utilizing new construction technologies and materials, adding that the same concepts may be applied to housing construction to lower home prices.
Demand pressure makes it feasible to sell high-priced homes quickly, but developers should abandon their complacency and focus on building homes for ordinary people, according to the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways.
Gadkari declared that his ministry will begin flyover constructions in Pune in three months, with an investment of Rs 55,000 crore.
It is critical to consider the concept of New Pune with adequate road connectivity to relieve pressure on city infrastructure, he noted.
