Question

What is the purpose of developing the Golden Quadrilateral in India?

Answer 1

The Golden Quadrilateral was developed to connect India’s major industrial, agricultural and cultural centres by reducing time and distance between the four mega-cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata), thereby improving truck transport and lowering vehicle and trade costs; it also promotes industrial growth in towns along its route and helps move agricultural produce from the hinterland to major cities and ports for export.
