Top 5 next major projects in India

In the modernization era, a developing country like India needs to develop its infrastructure and transportation system to stimulate its rapid economic growth. Even to improve standards of living, improve urbanization and create new jobs, India is focusing on the development of its infrastructure and transportation system. The former UPA government had already launched major projects in the past, including the Chenani-Nashri road tunnel. The project was recently inaugurated in April 2017 by the current Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. The current NDA government has launched many projects in a very short time, which can lead to a major change in the country if it is completed on time. Here is the list of the 5 largest upcoming projects in India that will play a major role in the development of the country.

The highest bridge in the world on Chenab River

A 359-meter high railway bridge will be constructed on the Chenab River in Reasi District, Jammu and Kashmir, India. It ranks 4th in the list of the 5 biggest upcoming projects in India. The project will cost about Rs. 1,198 crore and is expected to be built by 2019.

With a total budget of Rs 21,600 crore, Mumbai's Trans Harbor Link & Shivaji Memorial ranks first among the top five projects coming to India.

The mentioned sea link will start from the village of Sewri in Chirle, near Nhava Sheva and cross south of Mumbai and Thane Creek north of Elephanta Island. The memorial will be the largest statue in the world that beats the height of the "Statue of Liberty" with a height of 270m including its base.
