Prime Minister Narendra Modi has kickstarted the development of 112 National Highway projects totaling around Rs 1 trillion in value across India.
Making his way to Gurugram in Haryana for the ceremony, PM Modi not only initiated the projects but also launched the Haryana section of the Dwarka Expressway, aimed at easing traffic between Delhi and Gurugram along NH-48.
The Haryana segment of the Dwarka Expressway, stretching 19 kilometers and featuring eight lanes, has been constructed at a cost of approximately Rs 4,100 crore. It encompasses two sections: the 10.2-kilometer Delhi-Haryana Border to Basai Rail-over-Bridge (ROB) and the 8.7-kilometer Basai ROB to Kherki Daula. This expressway promises direct connectivity to Delhi's IGI Airport and the Gurugram Bypass.
Among the major projects inaugurated by PM Modi are the 9.6-kilometer six-lane Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II)- Package 3 in Delhi, the Lucknow Ring Road in Uttar Pradesh, the Anandapuram - Pendurthi - Anakapalli section of NH16 in Andhra Pradesh, the Kiratpur to Nerchowk section of NH-21 in Himachal Pradesh, and the Dobaspet - Heskote section in Karnataka, among others. These projects, valued at Rs 20,500 crore, span various states across the nation.
Additionally, PM Modi laid the foundation stone for several other National Highway projects, including the Bengaluru - Kadappa - Vijayawada Expressway in Andhra Pradesh, the Belgaum - Hungund - Raichur Section of NH-748A in Karnataka, the Shamli - Ambala Highway in Haryana, the Amritsar - Bathinda corridor in Punjab, and 39 more projects across India, amounting to Rs 32,700 crore.
These initiatives are expected to significantly enhance the National Highway network, stimulate socio-economic growth, create employment opportunities, and bolster trade and commerce nationwide.
