NHAI has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the NECTAR and ISRO, to use the benefits of space technology and Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's).

ISRO will play a major role in the upcoming NHAI projects by providing Satellite data and space technology for monitoring construction progress, project execution, and maintenance and optimal management of the Highways.
