To improve the investment in the infrastructure sector, Nitin Gadkari highlighted the need to focus on ‘Multiple Funding Model’. Smaller investors can invest in the sector by purchasing bonds, Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India, said at the NDTV Infrashakti Awards on Tuesday.

He said that when these small investments come together, they generate a large sum for the infrastructure sector. Gadkari also said that they need to work on innovative finance plans with lower interest rates

In terms of the deteriorating climate condition in India, Gadkari highlighted that cost-effective, pollution-free and indigenous transport systems like electric cars, buses and scooters are some of the solutions to resolve the air, water and noise pollution in India.

“265 ropeway cable cars and funicular railways are being developed in many states, including Kedarnath and Badrinath, to reduce pollution and travel time.”
