Nashik–Akkalkot Greenfield Highway Land Acquisition Nears Completion

Land acquisition for the 374 km Nashik–Akkalkot greenfield highway has reached an advanced stage, with around 90 per cent of land notifications already issued, the government informed Parliament recently.
In a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said the project was approved on 31 December 2025 under the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan. The six-lane, access-controlled corridor will pass through Nashik, Ahilyanagar, Beed, Dharashiv and Solapur districts in Maharashtra.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved the project at an estimated cost of Rs 191,420 million. Notifications under Section 3A of the National Highways Act cover about 90 per cent of the land, while Section 3D declarations account for nearly 80 per cent. Compensation-related processes under Section 3G have been completed for around 40 per cent of the land.
The Maharashtra government has been requested to expedite the remaining land acquisition. Once operational, the highway is expected to reduce travel time between Surat and Chennai by about 14 hours, with a distance saving of nearly 201 km. Travel time between Nashik and Akkalkot is projected to reduce by around four hours. The project is scheduled for completion within three years of construction commencement and is expected to generate significant employment during implementation.
