The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has received nine bids from developers for upgrading the Jaipur-Kishangarh section of National Highway 48 to six lanes over 90 km. The project will be executed on an Engineering, Procurement and Construction mode and was approved by the Government of India in February 2026. NHAI expects the contract to be awarded in the current financial year to allow timely commencement. The scheme will transform the corridor into a semi access controlled highway through flyovers and vehicular underpasses at major junctions, with service and slip roads along the stretch. These elements are designed to enhance traffic flow, streamline vehicular movement and improve safety. The design emphasises separation of local and through traffic to reduce interference. On completion the upgraded corridor is projected to cut travel time between Jaipur and Kishangarh from two hours to about one hour and to increase average speeds and vehicle carrying capacity. Continuous service roads will segregate local movements from high speed traffic, reducing congestion and improving operational efficiency for freight and passenger vehicles. The improvements should support more predictable journey times and better route reliability for logistics operators. The construction of flyovers and grade separated structures is intended to reduce conflict points at junctions and lower the incidence of road accidents. Dedicated service roads will enhance safety for pedestrians and local traffic by providing separated movement corridors away from high speed highway traffic. The project is being taken forward without additional land acquisition which should accelerate delivery. Beyond safer and faster travel for commuters and freight, the upgradation of the Jaipur-Kishangarh section is expected to strengthen regional connectivity, improve logistics efficiency and support economic growth in the region. The scheme forms part of broader efforts to modernise national highway infrastructure and to facilitate smoother movement of goods and people.
