What this measures
National Highway network, in km. A rising number is an improvement. Reported by Ministry of Road Transport & Highways / PIB.
It stood at 91,287 in 2014, and under Modi’s current India reached 146,572 by 2026 — a rise of 61%. That is an improvement against India’s pre-2014 figure.
No comparison country reports an equivalent series, so there is no Rahul's India to compare against. This is a before-and-after reading, not a treatment effect.
