[India begins construction of 465 kilometers of key sea lanes] India is building a 465 kilometer highway with a total investment of 1.83 billion US dollars in its eastern region, aiming to efficiently connect inland resource areas with coastal ports. The project (NH-130CD) connects the capital of Chhattisgarh, Raipur, with the Visakhapatnam Port in Andhra Pradesh, and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026, significantly reducing travel time from 12 hours to 5 hours. This highway is not only a transportation artery, but also a strategic 'economic corridor'. It will open up the most convenient eastward seaport for the inland state of Chhattisgarh, promoting mineral and agricultural product trade by reducing logistics costs, enhancing industrial competitiveness. At the same time, the highway will systematically drive the interconnection and development of the three states along the route, aiming to attract industrial investment and cultivate new growth poles. It is an important measure for India to strengthen internal connections and balance regional development.Editor/Cheng Liting
