Reduction In Travel Time By 12 Hours! | This new Delhi-Mumbai eight-lane expressway is said to run through several major cities and connect Delhi to Mumbai by a 1,380-km long expressway. Nitin Gadkari recently toured the cities of Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat over two days to review the progress of the project which is being built at a cost of Rs 98,000 crore and scheduled to be completed by March 2023!

It is said that not only will this corridor improve connectivity between most of the major economic hubs and cities but will also reduce travel time by 12-12.5 hours from 24 hours for certain cities.
