Indian Truckers Prefer Older Roads Over New Expressways

23 Ekim 2026Bloomberg

Despite the construction of modern expressways, many Indian truckers opt for older routes due to lower costs for food and repairs.
India is investing heavily in US-style expressways to enhance freight movement efficiency. However, many truckers are opting for older roads due to lower costs associated with food, repairs, and rest stops.
This trend raises concerns about the viability of India's $130 billion investment in modern infrastructure. Aryan Gupta highlights the challenges facing this ambitious project.
India's push for modern expressways is part of a broader strategy to improve logistics and reduce transportation costs across the country. The $130 billion investment reflects the government's vision to enhance economic growth through better infrastructure.
The reluctance of truckers to embrace new expressways underscores a critical disconnect between infrastructure development and the practical needs of its users. While the government aims to modernize freight transport, the financial realities of operating on these new roads may deter truckers from making the switch.
