📢 Kerala 🛣️
In Kerala, we have approved ₹1,663.15 crore for the 4-laning of a 54.37 km stretch of NH-183, from Kollam Bypass Junction to Anjilimoodu.
Kollam, known as India’s cashew capital and home to over 600 processing units, will significantly benefit from this infrastructure upgrade. The improved corridor will serve key industrial clusters including cashew, coir, ceramics, rare earth, and fisheries, collectively employing over 1.5 lakh workers. Enhanced connectivity to Kollam Port will reduce logistics costs, cut transit time, and facilitate seamless freight movement, thereby strengthening the regional economy.
The 4-lane corridor will also improve road safety and decongest existing stretches. As part of NH-183, the project will enhance interstate and regional connectivity, while improving access to key tourist destinations such as Periyar Tiger Reserve and Thekkady, giving a further boost to tourism and overall economic growth in the region.
