The proposal seeks to connect JNPA and the proposed Vadhavan Port with Maharashtra’s industrial and logistics network through a high-capacity multimodal freight route. The corridor is expected to improve cargo movement, reduce delivery times and strengthen export connectivity for industrial centres such as Nashik and the Niphad dry port. The project remains at the conceptual stage, with its alignment, cost, implementation schedule and execution framework yet to be finalised. The NHAI has terminated DP Jain’s contract for the delayed 24.5-km Arakkonam–Kancheepuram section of the Bengaluru–Chennai Greenfield Expressway and invited fresh bids for the unfinished works. Construction had remained suspended since May 2025, with 11.33 km completed and overall progress reported at 53.56 per cent. The `633.12 crore EPC tender covers the remaining highway works, including nine major bridges, one railway overbridge, two grade separators, 18 underpasses and 44 box culverts. The selected contractor will be required to complete the balance work within 18 months. The proposed `900 crore E-13 Extension Road will become the first road corridor directly connecting Amaravati with NH-16. The project includes a 609-metre railway overbridge near AIIMS Mangalagiri and a six-lane road passing through the surrounding hilly terrain. Its scope also includes a major elevated corridor linking two hills, requiring substantial bridge and hill-road construction. The corridor is expected to improve access between the capital region, NH-16 and major institutional areas. It will also strengthen regional mobility and provide an alternative high-capacity approach to Amaravati. Details regarding the executing agency, tendering schedule and construction timeline have not yet been provided. A proposal has been submitted to extend the first phase of the Thiruvananthapuram Metro southward from Pappanamcode to Nemom railway station. The currently approved alignment covers approximately 31 km between Pappanamcode and Enchakkal with 27 stations and received in-principle approval from the Kerala government in November 2025. The proposed modification is intended to integrate Nemom railway station and improve metro access for residents beyond Pappanamcode. Incorporating the extension in Phase I could avoid the need for a separate connectivity project later. The extension remains under consideration and has not yet received government approval; its length, cost and station configuration are also yet to be determined. The state administration has announced a multi-faceted development framework aimed at establishing Kozhikode as a premier port city through the integration of maritime logistics and urban transport. Key components of the initiative include the strengthening of regional port facilities, the development of container facilitation centres, and the construction of transshipment infrastructure to bolster economic activity and employment. Concurrently, the government is advancing plans for a Light Metro system, with project implementation contingent upon the conclusion of current feasibility studies. The master plan further contemplates the establishment of a dedicated cruise terminal, subject to the successful identification and acquisition of suitable land. This strategic development roadmap seeks to harmonize northern district port operations with the broader urban growth requirements of the city. The Government of India, through the Ministry of Railways, has officially sanctioned the development of a new East-West Rail Corridor across the state of Maharashtra to bridge critical logistics gaps. This strategic infrastructure project is designed to integrate key industrial hubs, facilitate faster freight movement, and support the state’s expanding manufacturing ecosystem. By providing a dedicated corridor, the initiative aims to reduce transit times and operational costs for heavy industries operating within the region. Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw confirmed that the project serves as a cornerstone for enhancing state-wide multi-modal connectivity and long-term economic growth. Stakeholders and contractors should prepare for upcoming phases involving detailed project engineering, route alignment surveys, and the subsequent commencement of procurement processes for large-scale civil works. NHIDCL has floated an EPC tender valued at `2,765.70 crore for constructing unidirectional twin-tube tunnels and approach roads on the Chenani–Goha section of NH-244 in Udhampur, Jammu & Kashmir.
