"The road projects we have awarded we are going to award in this fiscal are likely to be completed in the next three years. The PM has also asked us to prepare detailed project report (DPR) for 15,000 km per year to ensure that bidding does not gets hampered due to lack of our preparation," Joshi said. He added that the PM has assured him to provide necessary fund for expediting the road work.
