Bundelkhand Expressway: For funding the construction of the Bundelkhand Expressway, the Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has recently inked a deal with a consortium of six banks. According to a PTI report, the consortium of six banks is being led by Bank of Baroda. Earlier this year, the foundation stone for the 296-kilometres long Bundelkhand Expressway was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Chitrakoot, Uttar Pradesh. In the coming years, the four-lane Bundelkhand Expressway, expandable to six-lane, will be an infrastructure boost for the state. It is expected that the expressway project will provide seamless passage to the national capital.
