Maha plans to connect nearly every district within the next five years

16 Dec 2022 CW Team

A roughly 3,000 km highway network is being built by the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra administration as part of an ambitious plan to connect most of the state's 36 districts.

In addition to the 701-km Nagpur-Mumbai expressway, which is claimed to be the longest in India and is known as the "Samruddhi Mahamarg" (prosperity corridor), there are approximately 10 other small and long highway projects in various phases of development.

In the next five years, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), a business Shinde has kept to himself, plans to finish this road network.

The entire highway network should be finished over the next five years, according to MSRDC managing director Radheshyam Mopalwar, who anticipates a total investment of Rs 3,000 billion.

Our goal is to extend the road network to practically all of Maharashtra's districts. There would be a completely new Maharashtra in five years, he told ThePrint. "There are countless possibilities once the network is established. New industrial nodes, various hubs, smart cities, and other possibilities are possible. It will start to have its own life.

Additionally, Mopalwar oversees the Chief Minister's office's war room for infrastructure projects.
