Delhi-Mumbai, Chambal e-ways to act as growth engines for MP: Gadkari

Delhi-Mumbai and Chambal Expressways will serve as growth engines for Madhya Pradesh once they are completed and accelerate the state’s development besides creating jobs, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said on Thursday.

The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will pass through Madhya Pradesh (nearly 250km), while the 404-km Chambal Expressway will link far-flung areas of MP, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Both the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and the Chambal Expressway will become growth engines for Madhya Pradesh. They will speed up the state’s development and generate a lot of new employment opportunities, Gadkari said. The minister was addressing a function after inspecting the progress of under-construction Delhi-Mumbai Expressway at Jaora in Ratlam district.
