Delhi-Jaipur expressway project construction status
The construction work on the Delhi Jaipur expressway has commenced and the NHAI has started the land acquisition process. The project is being developed at a cost of Rs 6,530 crore. Since the major part of the land required for the project is privately owned, the cost of rehabilitation and resettlement is around Rs 5,000 crore. This corridor is expected to be opened in 2027.
Delhi-Jaipur Highway
The Delhi-Jaipur Highway or the NH-48 is a 242-km-long, eight-lane highway, which connects Delhi and Jaipur. The route starts from Kherki Toll Plaza in Gurgaon and ends near Daulatpura Toll Plaza in Jaipur. The highway covers several Industrial Model Townships (IMT) in Haryana and Rajasthan. The road was widened in 2007 as a National Highway passing over 400 villages of 11 tehsils across Haryana and Rajasthan.
Delhi-Jaipur section of Delhi-Mumbai Expressway
On February 12, 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the first stretch of the 1,380-km Delhi-Mumbai Expressway from Sohna (Haryana) to Dausa (Rajasthan). It is an eight-lane access-controlled expressway, expandable to 12 lanes.
The 246-km section will reduce travel time from Delhi to Jaipur to just 3 hours from the current 5 hours. Developed at the cost of over Rs 12,150 crore, the section will be directly linked with the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway from DND Flyway to Jaitpur, from Jaitpur to Ballabhgarh and from Ballabhgarh to Sohna. The section will serve as an alternative route to the Delhi-Jaipur highway.
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that electric bus service will be started by laying electric cable on the Delhi-Mumbai Express National Highway. The distance from Delhi to Jaipur will be covered in two hours, and its fare will be 30% less than that of a diesel bus. He said that the government plans to construct a 67-kilometre four-lane expressway from Bandikui to Jaipur for Rs 1,370 crore. The project is expected to be completed by November 2024.
Gadkari further said the Delhi-Mumbai Express highway is the first in Asia and the second in the world on which we have built an animal overpass so that animals do not have to cross the road. He expressed satisfaction with the government’s efforts to make Rajasthan roads at par with international standards.
