Anand Mahindra Gets Nostalgic About A "Trip" On A "Dusty Road"

The industrialist lauds an expressway while he goes down memory lane.

The new Delhi-Meerut Expressway took Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra down memory lane. While responding to a tweet by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, announcing the opening of the expressway, Anand Mahindra wrote, "I remember doing this trip as a kid. Just a small dusty road then." He went on to add that such expressways will not only add percentage points to the country's GDP growth but also knit India together, and concluded the tweet with the word "Bravo!" 2.5 hours to 45 minutes?? I remember doing this trip as a kid. Just a small dusty road then. Tells me how much transportation inefficiency we've been enduring so far. These highways will not just add percentage points to our GDP growth but also knit India together. Bravo! https://t.co/Zbbrf34HeE Delhi Meerut Expressway has now been completed & opened to traffic.
