What's happening
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has cleared ₹988.75 crore from the Central Road and Infrastructure Fund for 39 road construction and improvement works across Kerala.
Kerala Public Works Minister P K Basheer announced the approval. The projects are intended to bring roads administered by districts, local bodies and municipalities up to national-highway specifications.
The details
Together, the approved works cover 486.33 km of roads in Kerala. The state government has already issued the required administrative approvals.
Of the overall allocation, ₹570 crore is for 21 projects in Malabar. These works span Kasaragod, Kannur, Wayanad, Kozhikode and Malappuram districts.
Why it matters
The funding directs more than half of the total allocation to northern Kerala, concentrating road investment across five Malabar districts. It also supports upgrades on routes beyond the national-highway network.
What's next
Construction is scheduled to start in December 2026, after the state-level administrative sanctions already granted.
