NEW DELHI: Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways, informed that the world’s longest expressway in India will generate Rs 1000-1500 crore monthly when it becomes operational in 2023. He also termed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) as a ‘goldmine’ for generating income.
Besides the turnover, the Delhi-Mumbai expressway will also reduce travel time from two metro cities from 24-26 hours to 12-13 hours. This expressway is likely to be finished by 2023. Gadkari also added that NHAI ,which is spearheading the road infrastructure drive in the country, will rake in Rs 1.40 lakh crore in the next five years, which is Rs 40,000 crore currently.
