The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI)'s Rewari project implement unit (PIU) has taken over the upkeep and improvement of the NH-48 stretch from Kherki Daula to Bawal.

Many parts of the 65 km stretch are in bad shape, and the authority has delayed a number of projects to improve the road. According to NHAI officials who are aware of the situation, the road resurfacing project will initially be assigned to the Rewari PIU, while major structures will be upgraded at the headquarters.

Commuters and residents had raised the issue of the Delhi-Jaipur highway (NH-48)'s poor maintenance and the sluggish construction of flyovers and underpasses numerous times. According to sources, Union minister and Gurugram MP Rao Inderjit Singh had also raised the issue with Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari, which resulted in a review of the ongoing projects.

At first, the goal will be to speed up road overlaying work and make maintenance better. At the NHAI headquarters, a decision regarding the transfer of structural works is due meanwhile the Gurugram-Rewari highway project is already being worked on by the Rewari PIU.

The work was delayed, but the entire project was supposed to be finished in 18 months.
