What happened
The state government resolved financial uncertainty regarding the Kollam–Theni National Highway (NH 183) by ordering a refund of ₹73.18 crore for the State’s GST share, accepting conditions from the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The project involves expanding a 54.37-km stretch of NH 183 into a four-lane highway.
