Maple Highways, a dedicated India road investment platform created by global investment group CDPQ, has completed the acquisition of the Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) that encircles the National Capital Region (NCR). Valued at Rs 62.67 billion, the 135 km six-lane express highway has been in operation since 2018 and was designed to decongest Delhi of commercial traffic. All lighting and other utilities along the expressway are fully solar-powered. Popularly known as National Expressway 2, EPE is India's first Intelligent Transport System (ITS) enabled road. It is equipped with a drip irrigation system and rainwater harvesting structures every 500 metres. It has a closed-loop tolling system and 99 per cent of its revenue is collected through electronic tolling.
