2. Inland Waterways
We have somehow forgotten that India has enormous rivers that can be exploited as an excellent form of transportation among all the highways and railways. The government intends to build these canals as soon as possible to link commercial locations. Work is being done on rivers like the Mahanadi, Brahmaputra, and Ganga. The government is investing close to Rs 4,000 crore in the development of Ganga's waterways. Due to its connectivity and further investment of Rs. 50000 crores in its development, Pradip is intended to be a port.
3. Additional metro lines between cities
In India, there are currently 18 cities with access to metro rail, and of those 18, 13 cities have operational metro rail networks. Recently, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that metro services would be available in 25 different Indian cities by the year 2025. Unquestionably, this megaproject in India will improve our quality of life. These new metro lines will be coming to a number of cities, including Agra, Meerut, Kanpur, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Pune, and Patna.
4. Gaganyaan
The Gaganyaan spacecraft was supposed to be launched in 2021, but the project was postponed because of the disruption brought on by COVID-19. The first manned spacecraft created by ISRO is called Gaganyaan. If everything goes according to plan, India will join China, the US, and Russia as the fourth nation to launch a man into space.
5. Chenab Bridge, the highest rail bridge in the world
When completed, the Chenab Bridge, a rail bridge, will stand at a height of 359 meters (1,178 feet), making it the highest rail bridge in the entire world. The bridge, which can be found in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi area, is estimated to be 1.315 kilometers long.
6. Char Dham Railway
In order to make it easier for pilgrims to access the holy places, a train connecting the Char Dham is also being developed, similar to the Char Dham expressway. These parallel rail lines will connect the railway stations in Doiwala, Gangotri, Yamunotri, Karnaprayag, Kedarnath, and Badrinath.
7. The Mumbai–Delhi expressway
The Mumbai-Delhi expressway, a 1250 km long national highway that is now under development, will link Delhi and Mumbai, two of the most significant cities in India. The project is one of the most anticipated mega projects in India simply because of its sheer ambition. The states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Haryana will be traversed by the route. The 8-lane road will cut the present 24-hour period in half, to an amazing 12-hour period.
8. Sagar Mala project
With new ports being built and current ones being renovated, the ambitious Sagar Mala Project would increase the Indian coastline while lowering the cost and time of shipping commodities.
9. The first motorable road through glaciers in the world
The Border Roads Organization is aiming to construct the first road in the world that will be carved through glaciers as part of Project HIMANK, which was launched back in the year 1985. In Eastern Ladakh, a road will be constructed from Sasoma to Saser La. It is not an easy undertaking to carve roads through glaciers because the weather can be quite erratic. Avalanches are a continual danger in these snow-covered areas on top of the cold. For those who have the travel bug, this is one of India's megaprojects that they are most eager to see!
10. ISRO's Solar Mission
A solar mission called Aditya-L1 is being developed to observe the sun attentively. It is India's first mission to investigate the sun. In contrast to studying the moon, watching the Sun can be challenging because it is not just extremely distant from Earth, but also because the weather is unfavorable for satellites.
11. Trans Harbor Link
The Mumbai Trans Harbor Link, also known as Sewri Nhava Sheva Trans Harbor Link, links Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Once finished, it will be the longest sea bridge in India.
12. Setu Bharatam
The Setu Bharatam project, initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will see bridges erected in place of railroad crossings on a number of motorways. Additionally, the initiative aims to fix existing bridges. The project will be a blessing for individuals who commute daily by car because it will save them a significant amount of time.
13. Bharatmala Project
A government-funded initiative called Bharatmala Pariyojana aims to construct highways across India to improve the flow of commodities and freight. The project will pay particular attention to tying together isolated, rural areas, including tribal regions that lack the most basic infrastructure. This initiative will connect the district headquarters of 550 districts.
14. Zanskar Highway
The isolated Zanskar Valley in Ladakh will be connected to Himachal Pradesh by this roadway that is now under development. This is a significant project for the nation since it connects the border with mainland India, which will speed up army mobility and significantly cut down on travel time.
15. India's electric vehicle industry
the electric car business looks like a great alternative to investigate given the growing worries about the use of petroleum for transportation. India intends to grow into a major producer of electric vehicles with the government supporting the nation's electric vehicle industry.
16. Kalpasar Project.
The Kalpasar Project aims to construct a freshwater lake in the Gulf of Khambhat that will make irrigation in the area easier by building a 34 km long dam and a 30 km long dyke. Up to 10,000 million cubic meters of water, or around 25% of Gujarat's annual rainfall flow, can be stored in the dam.
17. India's 5G network launches
Even without the epidemic delaying the timeframe, India was somewhat behind other nations in implementing 5G internet. The largest telecom operator in India's ownership, Mukesh Ambani, has declared that his business will introduce 5G to the country by the second half of 2021.
18. Regional satellite navigation system for India
India is the fourth nation to have its own navigation system, thanks to the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System, which is an independent navigation system. IRNSS will soon be made widely available and significantly improves maritime navigation in Indian seas.
19. Airport Navi Mumbai International -
The government intends to develop an international airport in Navi Mumbai, far from the mayhem of Mumbai City. As a result, there is little possibility that you will get trapped in traffic and miss your flight. However, the project has been delayed as a result of land acquisition.
20. India's Hyperloop project
A vehicle called the hyperloop is planned to have a top speed of more than 1200 kilometers per hour. The pods of a hyperloop are designed to levitate, in contrast to conventional vehicles that require wheels. By 2029, the Virgin Group, led by Richard Branson, wants the Hyperloop to be operational in India. Virgin is currently developing a hyperloop that will travel between Pune and Mumbai.
21. Char Dham Expressway
The Char Dham motorway, which is currently under construction in Uttarakhand, would link the Char Dham, also known as the four holiest sites: Badrinath, Gangotri, Yamunotri, and Kedarnath.
22. Indian Rivers Inter-link Project
By connecting the numerous Indian rivers through a system of canals and reservoirs, the Indian rivers inter-link attempts to protect and manage Indian water bodies. The project's goals include improving irrigation systems, preserving groundwater recharge, and avoiding floods in select flood-prone areas. Godavari and Krishna's initial connection was finished in 2015.
