India has overtaken the US in having the longest road network in the world as per Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
India is now having 6.7 million kms of roads, followed by the US at 6.6 million kms, and China 5.5 million kms. India also has the highest road density in the world.
India will continue to lead as India is now adding around 7,000-10,000 kms of highways a year. And will quickly catch up to China in paved roads, where China leads India by 0.5 million kms (India, US come second & third).
10,000 kms of road addition is like laying a road from Tokyo to London every year. This is no joke because if you think post 2020 India's infra boom was spectacular, India has only doubled its investment in infra now compared to 5 years ago.
