11 Sep 2025 CW Team

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has approved construction of the 4-lane greenfield access-controlled Mokama–Munger section of the Buxar–Bhagalpur High-Speed Corridor in Bihar. The project will be executed under the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM) with a total length of 82.4 km and an outlay of Rs 44.47 billion.

The corridor will connect Mokama, Barahiya, Lakhisarai, Jamalpur, Munger and extend to Bhagalpur, enhancing regional connectivity. The Munger–Jamalpur–Bhagalpur belt is emerging as a key industrial hub with ordnance factories, a locomotive workshop, food processing clusters, and Bhagalpur’s renowned textile ecosystem. Barahiya is also growing as a centre for agro-warehousing and food packaging.

Designed for speeds of 100 km/h with average vehicular speeds of 80 km/h, the project will cut travel time to about 1.5 hours, while offering safer, faster connectivity for passenger and freight movement.

The corridor is expected to generate about 14.83 lakh man-days of direct employment and 18.46 lakh man-days of indirect employment, along with further opportunities from increased economic activity around the project area.
