Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance faces internal conflict after poll defeat

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, speaking at the Business Today Mindrush 2025 forum, emphasised the need to boost rural and agricultural growth to accelerate India’s overall development. He highlighted the rapid growth in India's connectivity through roads, rail, and ports and predicted that bringing logistical costs down would increase the country's export competitiveness amid global trade and tariff wars. Gadkari elaborated on India’s ambitious infrastructure projects, including the construction of 36 green express highways aimed at reducing logistics costs from 14-16 per cent to around 9 per cent, which would enhance India’s export competitiveness. He cited successful experiments in converting corn to bioethanol and rice straw to bio-CNG, which have not only increased farmers’ incomes but also reduced India’s dependence on fossil fuel imports.
