Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari reviewed proposed high-speed and high-density corridors and other National Highway (NH) corridors in Maharashtra at a meeting in New Delhi. The minister examined plans to accelerate project planning and execution to strengthen road connectivity and support economic development in the region. The review addressed a series of corridor upgrades including six-laning of the Nagpur–Bhandara section and six-laning of the Bhandara–Raipur section, four-laning of the Taloda–Burhanpur section, and six-laning of the Nagpur–Amravati section. It also covered the Durg–Gadchiroli–Mancherial corridor, the Gadchiroli–Kanker Raipur–Vizag corridor, the Gwalior–Nagpur corridor, the Nagpur–Hyderabad corridor, the Lakhnadon–Durg–Raipur corridor, and the Madhya Pradesh–Maharashtra Border–Nagpur Bypass–Borkhedi stretch on NH-44. The meeting further reviewed nine State Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects covering a total length of 527 km on National Highway stretches in Maharashtra. These projects comprised Shirur–Ahilyanagar four-lane, Ahilyanagar–Wadala four-lane, Wadala–Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar four-lane, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar–Jalna four-lane, Jalna–Watur four-lane, Nanded–Narsi–Deglur four-lane and two-lane, Jam–Warora four-lane, Warora–Chandrapur–Bamni four-lane, and Malkapur–Chikhli two-lane corridors. The review focused on measures to expedite approvals and implementation while maintaining technical and environmental standards. Officials were urged to prioritise timely execution and coordinated agency action to realise the connectivity benefits and support regional economic activity. Follow-up action will include regular review of project milestones, enhanced interagency coordination and focused monitoring of contractual and financial milestones to reduce delays. The ministry indicated that adopting efficient procurement and construction practices alongside stringent quality checks would help ensure durability and cost effectiveness. Stakeholders will be expected to provide periodic progress reports to enable central and state authorities to address bottlenecks and maintain momentum. These measures aim to improve freight movement and reduce travel time, thereby supporting trade and regional integration. Coordination with state agencies and contractors will remain central to achieving the planned connectivity outcomes within scheduled timeframes. Progress will be tracked through dashboards.
