b) Uttar Pradesh
c) Maharashtra
d) More than one of the above
Correct Answer : a) Rajasthan
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: a) Rajasthan
Explanation:
– As per the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways’ state-wise progress under Bharatmala Pariyojana up to 31 October 2024, Rajasthan recorded the highest constructed road length.
– This is largely because multiple major Bharatmala corridors pass through Rajasthan (notably long stretches of the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway and the Amritsar–Jamnagar corridor), giving it a higher cumulative completed length than Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra by that date.
