This means, the corporation is not only involved in the heavy-duty construction of tunnels, bridges, expressways, but also provides maintenance services, emergency response, structure rehabilitation, and real-time and three-dimensional road management services.

The National Highway Authority of India is all set to sign an agreement with the corporation to employ their expertise and services to establish a hi-tech sophisticated audio-video technology for effective Traffic Management on Indian Highways. If this tie-up sees the light of success, then it can help NHAI to employ the best technology for traffic management. An official source from the Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India Mr Nitin Gadkari said, ?The Centre has 4-View processors that enable the deployed personnel to see over 70 separate images. The personnel can view the entire highway network on the screen, and by simply entering a vehicle registration number in the system they can track the vehicle quickly.?

Earlier, on 18th February 2018, with the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Korea Expressway Corporation in Mumbai. The MoU was signed to promote technological cooperation and exchanges in road transportation between the two, which will be implemented on the 70-km long Nagpur-Mumbai Expressway project.

Walking on the same path as Maharashtra Government, the Ministry of Road Transportation and highways is also working towards to get the best technical assistance for the country?s completely Highway network.

This update has come immediately after the NHAI?s step of installing video surveillance system at the ten major Toll Plazas of the country to control the traffic congestion. Under this initiative, all the selected toll plazas will get hi-tech cameras that will have the feature of providing a real-time feed to the control rooms in the regional offices with time-stamped photos. The NHAI headquarters will also be part of this systems connectivity and if the regional offices fail to resolve the issue with the given period of time the query will be extended to them for further action.
