If everything goes as per plan, then in another year motorists will be able to reach Delhi from Mumbai by road in just 12 hours instead of the existing 48 hours. Union Minister for the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways (MORT), Nitin Gadkari announced the same while speaking at the national conference on investment opportunities in highways, transport and logistics in Mumbai on Friday.
Gadkari said, “The travel time from Mumbai to Delhi, via road, will go down from 48 hours to 12 hours within a year.” He added that road projects and multimodal infrastructure projects will reduce logistics costs and boost manufacturing, increase exports and help the economy grow. Gadkari assured investors that the internal rate of return in the roads development sector was very high, so there was no need to worry about economic viability.
