Neom is taking shape in Saudi Arabia's far northwest, stretching from the sun-scorched Red Sea coast into
craggy mountain badlands. We are talking about the epitome of desserts with summer temperatures over 100F and almost no fresh water. It is soon set to be home to millions of people who’ll live amidst a serene environment, relying on desalination plants and a fully renewable electric grid.
Things are happening quick and fast in India as well. According to the data divulged by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), the annual average construction of national highways has recorded an 83 percent spike compared to the pace of highway construction before the current minister, Nitin Gadkari’s time. On the other hand, the Indian Railways also depict a beautiful picture. As an excellent example of the ‘Make in India’ success story, the Indian Railways’ first indigenous Semi High-Speed train, Vande Bharat Express, has taken the country by storm. Now, the next big thing for the railways is the Chenab Rail Bridge. Built at a height of 359 m (1,178 ft) over the river, the Chenab bridge has reportedly cleared all the necessary tests and is set to be commissioned next year. The Indian engineering segment is having the time of its life.
