Delhi-Mumbai Expressway to cut travel time in half by December 2024

The senior Union government official announced that the construction of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is expected to conclude by December 2024. With the completion of this expressway, the travel time between the two cities will be reduced from 24 hours to 12 hours, according to Anurag Jain, the newly-appointed secretary of the Road Transport and Highways Ministry.

Jain also mentioned that vehicles will be able to travel at a speed of 120 kmph on this road. Prior to addressing the reporters, Jain conducted a review of the National Highway projects worth Rs 26,000 crore that are currently underway in Madhya Pradesh. Under these projects, approximately 7,700 km of roads have already been constructed in the state. Among the 1,350-km long Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, a section of 245 km passes through Madhya Pradesh, as Jain informed the reporters.

He further stated that work has been completed in eight out of the nine 'columns' in the state. Additionally, the first Multi-Modal Logistics Park out of the four planned in the country will be established in Indore, according to the official.

Jain mentioned that the acquisition of 300 acres of land for the logistics park will be finalised by September, after which the construction will commence through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
