Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari recently inspected the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Greenfield Expressway (DAK) and the Amritsar Bypass. For those unaware, Punjab is developing five greenfield and economic corridors, with an investment of Rs 29,000 crore.
The 669-km Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Greenfield Expressway is considered to be a significant project, with an estimated cost of Rs 40,000 crore. Once completed, this expressway will reduce travel time from Delhi to Amritsar to just 4 hours and from Delhi to Katra to 6 hours. Presently, the distance between Delhi and Katra stands at 727 km, but once the expressway opens, this distance will be reduced by 58 km.
