Beawar-Bharatpur Expressway Gets DPR Approval, Survey to Begin Soon

The Beawar-Bharatpur Expressway, a 342-km greenfield project in Rajasthan, has received approval for its Detailed Project Report (DPR), paving the way for survey work to commence. Proposed in the state’s 2024 budget, the project is expected to enhance connectivity between Beawar and Bharatpur while reducing travel time. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will conduct the survey, which is expected to take 18 months, before finalising project financing and commencing construction. 

The expressway will require approximately 3,175 hectares of land and will connect NH-58 to NH-21 in Bharatpur, passing through Gulabpura, Kekri, Todaraisingh, Uniara, Tonk, and Niwai. As part of Rajasthan’s broader infrastructure push, the project is one of nine greenfield expressways announced last year. The current budget also includes investments in state highways, bypass roads, flyovers, elevated roads, road overbridges (ROB), road underbridges (RUB), and road rehabilitation efforts. 

Currently, the 370-km journey between Beawar and Bharatpur takes 7-8 hours. The new expressway aims to significantly cut travel time by bypassing urban areas and integrating routes with existing networks. Designed to pass through unpopulated zones, the expressway will feature minimal turns to maintain higher vehicle speeds.
