In a significant celebration of innovation and dedication in India’s infrastructure development, the sixth edition of the National Highways Excellence Awards (NHEA) 2023 is set to take place on April 15, 2025, at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. The event will honor the efforts of individuals and organizations that have contributed immensely to the construction, maintenance, and enhancement of National Highway assets across the country.
This meaningful gathering will be graced by Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari, along with Ministers of State Shri Ajay Tamta and Shri Harsh Malhotra, and senior officials including Shri V Umashankar, Secretary at the Ministry. Their presence underscores the government’s commitment to recognizing and encouraging excellence in the field of infrastructure.
What makes this event especially significant is its focus on acknowledging those who often work tirelessly behind the scenes—engineers, project managers, and planners whose dedication drives the country’s progress mile by mile. It’s not just about roads, but about lives connected, communities empowered, and economic opportunities unlocked through world-class highway infrastructure.
The event will also host thoughtful panel discussions featuring experts who will share insights on challenges and opportunities in areas like highway construction in hilly terrains, adoption of emerging technologies, and enhancing the global competitiveness of Indian construction firms. These conversations aim to inspire future innovation and sustainable growth in the sector.
Established in 2018, the National Highways Excellence Awards reflect a vision to cultivate a culture of quality and healthy competition among stakeholders, ultimately raising the bar for infrastructure standards in the country. As the awards continue to grow in stature, they serve as a tribute to the silent champions of India’s roadways, whose work fuels the nation’s journey forward.
