• Highway infrastructure spending: The government has consistently allocated over 10 lakh crores annually to infrastructure over the past four years with a 95% execution rate, though national logistics costs remain high.
• Long-term growth targets: Expanding the economy from 4.1 trillion dollars to 10 trillion dollars and eventually 35 trillion dollars by 2047 requires significant enhancements across supply chains, green energy, digital infrastructure, and logistics competitiveness.
• Commercial vehicle upgrades: To keep pace with modernized, higher-speed highway infrastructure, the commercial vehicle sector must invest in trucks with greater engine power, better fuel efficiency, improved safety, and digital connectivity.
• Electric truck adoption: Ground-level deployment of electric trucks is currently limited to sub-3-ton and sub-5-ton last-mile vehicles, mining operations, and short-haul port movements within 200 kilometers, while broader alternative fuel technologies like LNG, CNG, and hydrogen remain under development.
