The Union Government approved road projects totaling more than ₹11,000 crore across Maharashtra, Telangana, and Gujarat. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) gave the green light on Friday. In Maharashtra, the Ghoti-Trimbak (Mokhada)-Jawhar-Manor-Palghar section of NH-160A will be rehabilitated and upgraded at a cost of ₹3,320.38 crore. This 154.635 km stretch connects key industrial areas west of Nashik. The Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways (MoRTH) said this project follows PM GatiShakti principles and links six PM GatiShakti Economic Nodes, one Social Node, and eight Logistics Nodes. It will boost the country’s Logistic Performance Index (LPI). In Gujarat, the CCEA approved the construction of 4-lane sections on NH-56 between Dhamasiya-Bitada/Movi and Nasarpore-Malotha. The ₹4,583.64 crore project covers 107.67 km and will allow speeds up to 100 km/h, cutting travel time by 40% from 2.5 hours to 1.5 hours. NH-56 connects Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh. For Telangana, the widening of NH-167 from Gudebellur to Mahabubnagar on the Hyderabad-Panaji Economic Corridor is approved. The 80.01 km project will cost ₹3,175.08 crore and be built under the hybrid annuity mode. It aims to improve transport for Narayanpet and Mahabubnagar districts. These upgrades aim to strengthen road networks and enhance economic growth in these states.
