Maharashtra to connect almost every district in the next five years

The Maharashtra government, led by Eknath Shinde, is working on an ambitious plan to build a nearly 3,000-km highway network with the goal of connecting the majority of the state's 36 districts. Aside from the partially completed 701-km Nagpur-Mumbai expressway, dubbed the 'Samruddhi Mahamarg' (prosperity corridor) and billed as India's longest, about ten other short and long highway projects are in the works. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), which Shinde retains as a portfolio, hopes to complete this road network within the next five years.

MSRDC managing director Radheshyam Mopalwar estimates a total investment of Rs 3 trillion and expects the entire highway network to be completed within the next five years. The goal is to connect almost every district in Maharashtra to the road network. In the next five years, Maharashtra will be completely different. Once the network is established, the possibilities are limitless.

New industrial nodes, different hubs, smart cities, and so on may emerge. It will take on its own life. Mopalwar is also the director general of the chief minister's war room for infrastructure projects.
