The minimum investment slab is just Rs 10,000 ,he added.

Shri Gadkari  said internal rate of return in road infrastructure projects is very good. He said 26 greenfield expressways and several other projects are in pipeline which will provide more investment oppurtunities. He asked investors to continue their support to infrastructure projects to realise the vision of 5 trillion dollar economy of Prime minister Shri Narendra Modi .He said infrastructure projects are economically viable and will give good returns.

 

Shri Gadkari said Bonds are a great opportunity to realize Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji's vision of AatmanirbharBharat. He said huge investments in infrastructure especially roads, are crucial to the socio-economic development of our country & he was confident that more retail investors will take part in next rounds and gradually overtake institutional investors.
