Today, in Rajasthan's Dausa, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the first phase of the ambitious, nearly 1,400-kilometer Delhi-Mumbai expressway. The expressway's 246-kilometer Delhi-Dausa-Lalsot section will reduce Delhi to Jaipur travel time from five hours to approximately three and a half hours. Additionally, it is anticipated to expand economic opportunities throughout the region.
Addressing a public gathering in the Dhanawar village of Dausa in eastern Rajasthan, the PM stated, "Studies show investment in infrastructure brings in further investments." To commemorate the inauguration, he used a remote to press a button. "We are making 'Samarth Bharat' while following our mantra for nation, Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas," the PM continued, describing the expressway as "a magnificent picture of developing India."
According to PM Modi, the government strengthens traders, small businesses, and industries by investing in highway projects, ports, railways, optical fiber, and medical colleges.
The Prime Minister stated that individuals who travel to Delhi for work can now return home at night after completing their work, and he added that rural "haats" are being constructed around the expressway so that local artisans can sell their products.
He claimed that the expressway would be beneficial to the Ranthambore National Park, Keoladeo National Park, Sariska National Park, and cities like Jaipur and Ajmer. According to the Prime Minister, the new infrastructure project will make Rajasthan's tourism industry even more attractive.
At the event, Nitin Gadkari, the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister, Union Minister Gajendra Singh, and other leaders were on stage.
Through a video link, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Haryana counterpart Manohar Lal khattar addressed the program.Mr. Khattar spoke at a Nuh district event while Mr. Gehlot joined the program from the Chief Minister's residence in Jaipur.
The public was allowed to use the first section of India's longest expressway just in time for a busy election year. The grand expressway says it will cut travel time from the national capital to Mumbai, the city's financial center, by half, to just 12 hours.
It has eight lanes, is nearly 1,400 kilometers long, and costs more than one lakh crore rupees to build. It can be made bigger to fit 12 lanes.The ambitious project is intended to be an engineering marvel and aims to connect five important Indian states, from Gujarat to Maharashtra.
It is also the first highway in Asia to have animal overpasses and wildlife crossings. Wayside amenities include helipads, trauma centers, charging stations for electric vehicles, and electric vehicle-only lanes.
In case of an accident or other emergency, it also has SOS stations every two kilometers.
The mega expressway will be connected to Haryana's Gurugram, Sohna, Nooh, and Mewat, as well as Rajasthan's Alwar and Dausa, at the opening of the Sohna-Dausa stretch.
There are eight entry and exit points along the Delhi-Dausa stretch.The highway can save nearly 300 million liters of fuel and 800 million kilograms of CO2 emissions annually with a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour for all vehicles.
All of the highway's toll booths are automatic, and the toll tax will only be deducted once: it will be calculated from the time a person enters the highway until they exit it. The 220-kilometer journey from Delhi to Jaipur costs 70, or 35 paise per kilometer.
