01 Sep 2020
Twenty-three new highways, including a network of expressways and economic corridors, will be ready by March 2025, according to the NHAI. While four expressways, including Delhi-Mumbai, Ahmedabad-Dholera and Amritsar-Jamnagar, are scheduled for completion by March 2023, nine more will be ready by March 2024. A status report prepared by NHAI shows that nine other greenfield highways would be completed by March 2025. The combined length of these expressways is close to 7,800 km and would require an investment of around Rs.3.3 tn in the next five years. Bidding is expected to be launched by next year. The NHAI has also formed a SPV to fast-track the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway project.
