Describing ropeways potential in India as "goldmine", Union Minister Nitin Gadkari Monday urged Austrian firm Doppelmayr Group to tap the huge opportunities that the country offers.

Doppelmayr, the world's leading manufacturer of ropeways, has installed 60 per cent of global ropeways.

Port Rail Connectivity Corporation (PRCC) has identified 100 spots where ropeways will be beneficial, the road transport minister Gadkari said while addressing an event after signing a pact between Austria's Doppelmayr and India's WAPCOS for end to end solutions for passenger ropeway projects.

Besides, he said JNPT was going for tender for a ropeway project.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new India vision can be actualised through this transport revolution," he said and urged Doppelmayer to follow 'Make in India' policy.

"I will request you should take initiative to manufacture all types of material here under Make In India... This is going to reduce the cost"
