The 244-kilometre-long stretch of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Madhya Pradesh, which is now complete, backed by the effective efforts of the state government and central authorities — is on track to be the next operational segment, opening up a new era of connectivity in the region.
Here's a look at the completed stretch of the ambitious road infrastructure passing through the state.
Nearly 244 km of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will pass through the state, covering several districts in the western region.
Moreover, it aims to establish vital connectivity and unlock economic prospects for regions in Madhya Pradesh with Vadodara, Surat in Gujarat, as well as with significant regions in Rajasthan.
The road corridor passes through three districts of the state — spanning 50 km in Jhabua, 91 km in Ratlam, and 102 km in Mandsaur.
While this impressive project of road infrastructure intends to usher in expanded connectivity, industrial progress, and economic opportunities, the network also winds through some of the picturesque landscapes of the state.
