I am proud that NHIDCL has been able to move at a very fast pace and establish itself within a short span of eight months. I am happy that during the first year of its inception itself, this Corporation has been able to award 18 projects covering 600 kms. at an estimated cost of Rs. 8492 crore . I am confident that during the current year, NHIDCL will be able to achieve the target of awarding civil works covering 1360 kms. at an estimated total cost of Rs. 14599 crore. Through NHIDCL, our Government wants to bring a paradigm shift in development of infrastructure in the North Eastern Region and Strategic Areas. I am sure, development of new infrastructure in the North Eastern Region and Strategic Areas will set up a new pace, structure and pattern of economic growth in the country through connect and inter-connect. I wish NHIDCL the very best in its endeavours to support and sustain India’s prosperity.
