Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday said electric bus will be started by laying electric cable on the Delhi-Mumbai Express National Highway and the distance from Delhi to Jaipur will be covered in two hours and its fare will be 30 per cent less than a diesel bus. Addressing the inauguration and foundation stone laying ceremony of 17 road projects with an investment of more than Rs 2,500 crore in Udaipur to accelerate Mewar’s development, Gadkari said, “I believe that from Bandikui to Jaipur for Rs 1,370 crore, we are constructing a 67-kilometer four-lane expressway.”
