New Delhi: Union Minister Minister for Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday said that in the next two years, the Indian roads will be better than those of the United States.

Addressing the Times Drive Auto Summit and Awards 2025  Nitin Gadkari stated, “I don’t think there is any problem in the road sector. The changes this year and next year will be so significant that earlier I used to say our highway road network would match that of the US, but now I say that within two years, our highway network will be even better than the US,” he added.

Speaking at the event, Gadkari exuded confidence that India will surpass the US in EV adoption and manufacturing in the next five years.

The Union Minister explained the ministry’s works and added that the distance between cities such as Delhi, Dehradun, Jaipur, or Bengaluru will drastically reduce.

When asked about Tesla’s entry into the country, the Union Minister said, “It is an open market; whoever has the power, come and make it and compete in the prices.”

He added that the transport manufacturers in the country are quality-centric rather than cost-centric.

He expressed confidence that the car manufacturers will make good vehicles and offer them at a competitive price.
