Construction of the proposed Bengaluru-Mangaluru Integrated Green Field High Speed Corridor will be very helpful for the development of Mangaluru as well as other cities along the route. Karnataka Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao expressed this opinion during discussions with executives of European Business and Technology Centre (EBTC), a project advisory and facilitation organisation. The project aims to construct a six to eight-lane high-speed corridor, and Rao mentioned that the route map needs to be discussed in more detail. He also assured that he would hold talks with the Chief Minister and the Minister of Public Works regarding the project. The minister emphasized the importance of such projects for the sustainable development of Mangaluru and highlighted the need for private partnerships for successful execution.
