Infrastructure is key to laying a strong foundation for a developed nation, Minister of State for Highways Mansukh L Mandaviya said Thursday.
"Infrastructure is the key element or you can say one of the strongest pillars for laying the foundation of a developed country," Mandaviya said addressing an event here.
India has all the potential to become a developed nation but it cannot happen only by political support, it needs a collaborated effort from all the sectors, he said addressing the industry to come together.
A road map for any project is important but the execution of the same is imperative, he added.
NHIDCL Managing Director N N Sinha said: "There is an utmost need to bring down the cost of logistics from 18 per cent to 6 per cent and this is only possible if we have well connected roads."
