THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SHIPPING, ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS(SHRI K. H. MUNIYAPPA)
(a) and (b) Yes Sir. The following stretches under National Highways Development Project
(NHDP) Phase-VI have been identified for implementation.
S.No. Name of Expressway Length (Km) Status of work
1. Vadodara-Mumbai 400 The consultant for fixing of alignment has been appointed.
2. Delhi-Meerut 66 The proposal from the consultants for fixing of alignment has been invited.
3. Kolkata-Dhanbad 277
4. Bangalore-Chennai 334
(c) to (e) The Delhi-Jaipur stretch was one of the stretches announced by the Finance Minister
in his budget speech for the FY 2008-09 for construction of Expressway. The project was to be
finally selected for implementation on the basis of traffic volume.Â
However, in view of the upgradation of existing alignment to six lane under NHDP Phase-V,
which will be sufficient to cater to the traffic volume for another 10-12 years, the new Expressway
is not envisaged, at present. NHDP Phase VI is targeted for completion by December 2015.
