Speaking at an event addressing the Indian diaspora in Prague, Czech Republic, Gadkari emphasized the transformative impact of this project, highlighting that it will significantly reduce travel time to the Indira Gandhi International Airport.

Gadkari stated, "We have constructed the UER-II ring road in Delhi. It will open in 2-3 months. Normally, if you didn't use this road, it would take you two hours to get to the airport.

He described the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) as the "lifeline of Delhi" and praised the project as a "game-changer" for the city, highlighting its potential to revolutionize transportation in the region.
