UP is on a roll, They have acquired almost 85% of the land for Ganga expressway which now they can start building.


Maharashtra - are you taking note of the speed at which UP is rolling out projects? Don’t be surprised if several companies shift to UP especially if the BJP continues for more time. Sitting on past glory will tank MH. Move at top speed. Get that Pune to Nashik semi HSR built ASAP. Get the bullet train going. Spend $10-20 billion and fix Mumbai’s infrastructure to make it an ASEAN standard city. Get rid of the slums, open up spaces to make the city green and blue, clean up all the waterways, build modern storm drains to prevent flooding, redevelop all dilapidated areas, clean up the crime and make Mumbai a good place to live and do business in. Finish the Mumbai-Nagpur expressway ASAP and start building more expressways like get the Surat-Chennai expressway part going in MH and help the government quickly acquire land for it. And get rid of the MVA crooks for sure.

Isn't that what I've been saying all along? :facepalm: Revenue generated from cities needs to be spent in cities. ULBs need full autonomy over the finances generated from the city and how they're spent. That's the only way to speed up urbanization in the country. i.e: Stop pandering to the rural voter base.
If you are talking about Guwahati [Kamrup(M)], just the annual repairing cost of existing road infra runs into 100 cr +. In 2016/17 it was around 70 crore. So with time, it has only increased.
The DTO earning which you have quoted would go mostly into DTO related purpose such as salary payment, tax payment, due repay and others. Only a meagre of this amount would go into proper infra investment.

There is lot of talks about Infrastructure lately. In India since BJP gov has come to power, Indian infrastructure has drastically improved. So I thought I should share some pics here for our viewing pleasure.

I got these pictures from a dedicated forum skyscrapercity.com/forum/india where infrastructure enthusiastic post regular updates.

Indian infrastructure is so vast and beautiful. There are many such beauties that I couldn't post here. If I do it will fill 100s of pages here.

India has

3rd largest road network.
4th largest railway network
2nd in number of cities with metro rail
3rd in electricity production
And much more.

On top of this India is currently building massive amounts of Infrastructure. Entire country is under construction.the size and scope of projects being undertaken are massive. Even tire 2 and 3 cities are getting major infra push from gov.

There are people who post regular updates on indian infra



Its really amazing stuff. I must say a big tank you to BJP.
