India is poised for a year of transformative infrastructure development in 2025, with several mega projects nearing completion. These projects, ranging from expressways and airports to urban renewal initiatives, will significantly enhance connectivity, reduce travel time, and boost economic growth across the country.
1. Hyderabad City Innovative and Transformative Infrastructure (H-CITI) Programme
The H-CITI program is a major urban infrastructure initiative aimed at improving mobility and reducing traffic congestion in Greater Hyderabad. With an investment of over Rs 7,000 crore, the program will include the construction of grade separators, flyovers, tunnels, and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure.
2. Mumbai’s Coastal Road
Mumbai’s Coastal Road project is nearing completion, with key sections expected to open in early 2025. This ambitious project will provide a seamless connection between Marine Drive and Bandra, reducing travel time and easing traffic congestion in the city.

Jewar International Airport in Uttar Pradesh is set to become one of the world’s largest airports upon its completion in April 2025. This mega-project will enhance air connectivity in the National Capital Region and boost economic development in Uttar Pradesh.
4. Gorakhpur Link Expressway
The Gorakhpur Link Expressway, connecting Gorakhpur to Azamgarh, is expected to be inaugurated in January 2025. This 91.35-kilometer expressway will reduce travel time, improve regional connectivity, and promote economic growth in eastern Uttar Pradesh.
5. Ganga Expressway
The Ganga Expressway, spanning 594 kilometers, will become India’s second-longest expressway upon its completion in 2025. Connecting Meerut to Prayagraj, this expressway will significantly reduce travel time between major cities in Uttar Pradesh.
