High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! India has a road network of over 4,320,000 kilometres (2,680,000 mi) in 2011, the second largest road network in the world. At 0.66 km of roads per square kilometer of land, the quantitative density of India’s road network is similar to that of the United States (0.65) and far higher than that of China (0.16) or Brazil (0.20). However, qualitatively India`s roads are a mix of modern highways and narrow, unpaved roads, and are undergoing drastic improvement. As of 2008, 49 percent - about 2.1 million kilometers - of Indian roads were paved.
