7. • Connectivity to Tier-II and Tier-III cities
“We are not interested in offering a promotional discounted offer,
which is normally for a temporary period. We will continue to charge
a base fare of Rs 990. Our long-term goal is to offer air travel at
affordable rates and provide an opportunity to every Indian to fly.
Our competition is with the Indian Railways and not with other
airlines in the country,” Mittu Chandilya said, adding the airline was
not worried about gaining market share. “Market share by nature is
predatory and we never looked at gaining market share,” he said.

8. ROADS & HIGHWAYS
• Increase in length of National Highways from 92,850 kilometres in 2013-14
to 100,000 kilometres by 2017
• Focus on widening and up gradation of 47,054 kilometres of National
Highways.
CHALLENGES
• Land acquisition
• Liquidity crunches in concessionaires
• Environment and forest department clearances.
