Applauding the road ministry’s continuous strides, Mr Sunil Gutte, the Managing Director of Sunil Hitech Engineers Ltd, looks forward to contribute to the planned completion of 9,000 km of National highways construction.
With Bharatmala Pariyojana receiving a surplus aid for improving connectivity to backward and interior areas and borders of the country, the Union Budget also stressed on developing the rural infrastructure and road construction, taking it a notch up. The Bharatmala programme envisages constructing extensive network of 60,000 km and more with capital outlay of Rs. 6.92 lakh crore.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) was provided Rs. 91,633.13 crore under capital expenditure this year, while in the last fiscal year, the amount allocated was Rs. 83,170.59 crore. The Finance Ministry has allocated Rs. 71,000 crore for road transport and highways ministry for next fiscal year.

Honourable Finance Minister has thus announced a dedicated affordable housing fund in the National Housing Bank.
In line with “Housing for all by 2022”, Mr Gutte considers that Sunil Hitech Engineers Ltd can assist in fulfilling the housing needs of rural areas.
The Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) will be funded from priority sectors and government-authorized fully serviced bonds. In urban regions, assistance for 37 lakh houses have been sanctioned, whereas in rural regions, more than a crore houses are to be built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
Mr Gutte Plans to Facilitate Highway Construction and Housing Facilities for India
The focus on building roads shall certainly boost budget housing, and Mr Sunil Gutte thinks that these measures will significantly help rural regions to connect with peripheral areas.
