Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari announced this via social media.

The Minister claimed that a budget of Rs 1265.59 crore has been granted in Odisha for the six-laning of the Baunsaguar-Baraja stretch of NH-130-CD under the Raipur-Visakhapatnam Economic Corridor in a series of tweets regarding the projects approved by the NHAI.
