In a chat with ET Now, Nitin Gadkari , Road Transport & Highways Minister , shares his views on how his ministry is tackling the problems related to the clearances of stuck projects. Excerpts:In the department also, there are more than 130-135 projects stuck up because of the land acquisition problem and the environment forest problem. Some of the projects are stuck because of railways, but we are pursuing these different departments and now the position is that, already the project costs of more than Rs 1,70,000-80,000 crore have been cleared. They are now moving fast and only some projects, up to 30-35 projects. are stuck up because of some problems. But we are also trying our level best to find the way out for that. We have already terminated some 40 projects with golden shake hand and now we are going to give tenders. My target is that my department of highways and shipping should contribute at least 2% of GDP within two years.The interest cost has increased and that is one of the reasons. But I am trying my level best to see how we can get the loan with low interest, particularly foreign investment, FDI, and also we are finding out some solutions. We have approached the Finance Ministry and the Labour Ministry for pension funds. They are clearing it and are issuing the notification from 1st April that they will invest money in the infrastructure and road sector. We will also get the opportunity for the Canadian, American and all western pension funds. They can come to us and that can be a good investment for us. The other things are the court matter, the land acquisition problem, the forest environment litigations, etc. Now these problems have been solved. So in due course of time --- I am confident in five years -- we will construct more than 60 to 70-thousand kilometer road, entailing a cost of at least Rs 5 lakh crore, and that is my target.
