Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a 246-km section of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Dausa on February 12.
The Delhi-Dausa-Lalsot stretch is set to reduce the travel time between the National Capital and Jaipur considerably.
The PM pressed the button of a remote to mark the foundation laying/inauguration of a total four projects, including the first phase of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, worth more than ₹18,000 crore.
PM Modi said when the government invests in highway projects, ports, railways, optical fibre, and opens medical colleges, it gives strength to traders, small shopkeepers and industries. “Investment on infrastructure attracts more investment,” he said.
Developed at a cost of more than ₹12,150 crore, this first completed section of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will provide a major boost to the economic development of the entire region.
PM Modi said the new section will reduce the travel time between Jaipur and Delhi to half.
The PM said those who travel to Delhi for work can now come back to home in the evening after finishing their task. The PM said that rural ‘haats’ are being developed around the expressway where the local artisans can sell their article.
