The govt has approved construction and upgradation of 26,474 km of rural roads under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY-IV), with an outlay of INR 18,907 crore. The FY27 target marks a 69% y-o-y increase in rural road programme, reflecting a stronger focus on last-mile connectivity in rural, tribal and Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)-affected regions. Higher road construction activity is expected to support cement demand.
