MSRDC wants to transform Pune-Mumbai Expressway into 10-lane ‘superhighway'
Pune: MSRDC wants to transform Pune-Mumbai Expressway into a 10-lane "superhighway" to tide over traffic snarls and cater to the future demands of vehicular movement along the corridor, one of the busiest in the country. "This is an upgrade from our earlier proposal to make the expressway an eight-lane facility. The latest upgrade will cost around Rs1,420 crore. The DPR is being finalised and will be submitted to govt for approval," Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) vice-chairman and managing director Anilkumar Gaikwad told TOI on Friday. Inaugurated in 2002, the expressway is a 94.6-km stretch connecting the bustling metropolis of Mumbai to Pune, Maharashtra's industrial and educational hub. It currently carries an estimated 65,000 vehicles daily during weekdays. The number increases to over 100,000 during weekends. With traffic volume increasing by approximately 5-6% on a year-on-year basis, the MSRDC's proposed expansion is seen as a long-term solution to the congestion. The latest project involves widening of the current infrastructure. While the construction cost is expected to be around Rs8,440 crore, the overall average cost of the project will be Rs 14,260 crore. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo "Instead of seeking funds from govt, we will bank on toll collection," Gaikwad said. The financing model — whether Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) or annuity — is yet to be decided. The current toll collection for the Pune-Mumbai Expressway is valid till 2045. MSRDC would seek an extension if the expressway widening gets approval to make the project self-sustaining. At present, the journey between Mumbai and Pune takes about two hours under normal conditions. However, weekend rush hours and holiday traffic can stretch that drive by an additional hour. According to MSRDC, the proposed expansion could virtually eliminate this extended travel time, offering smoother rides even during peak periods. If approved and executed as envisioned, the expansion could become one of India's most ambitious road infrastructure upgrades — a critical step toward matching the country's rapid growth in vehicle ownership with high-capacity transit corridors, an MSRDC official said. MLA Mahesh Landge has in a social media post recently said the expansion would ensure necessary respite from traffic congestion on the e-way. "This is a long-awaited demand. The expansion is needed considering the heavy traffic along the e-way," he told TOI. People frequently travelling on the e-way are of the view that the state govt should not delay in the expansion work and carry out the project in phases to ensure that there was no traffic congestion. "Frequent traffic snarls are becoming an impediment for travellers. The expansion proposal should be immediately cleared and work should commence," said Manisha Khandekar, a frequent traveller. The expressway — which begins at Kalamboli in Navi Mumbai and ends at Kiwale near Pune — is India's first access-controlled express highway. While work on the 13-km "missing link" project is on, which will facilitate 10 lanes in the Khandala Ghat section, the proposed expansion would cover the remaining 67km of the route. According to MSRDC, land acquisition challenges were expected to be minimal. "MSRDC already holds land adjacent to most parts of the existing expressway. Only limited additional land near tunnels will be needed. These land parcels are near the tunnel zones," said an official involved with the project.

Govt plans to roll out 100 electric inter-state buses linking 17 routes to Delhi
New Delhi: Soon, you may travel to Haridwar, Ayodhya, Rishikesh, Meerut and Baghpat in electric buses run by Delhi govt. Plans are in place to roll out 100 electric inter-state buses, which will connect seventeen routes to the national capital. A senior official of Delhi Transport Corporation said that the buses would cover areas between 250 and 300 km from the city. The routes are also likely to include Shimla, Lucknow, Aligarh and Jaipur. The decision was taken during a DTC board meeting on Friday. Transport minister Pankaj Singh said, "These electric buses will strengthen Delhi's connectivity with neighbouring states and will run across 17 identified routes, including several that connect to important religious and pilgrimage destinations." The initiative is part of the govt's "Viksit Sankalp Patra" vision, aligning with the broader goals of Green Delhi, Clean Delhi. These e-buses will be operated by existing DTC drivers, ensuring continuity and efficient utilisation of workforce resources, said govt. The board also presented a plan to enhance DTC's non-fare revenue through advertisements on buses. While the corporation plans to earn Rs 5 crore annually from advertisements, efforts are underway to bring more buses under ad coverage, aiming to multiply advertising revenue significantly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Singh said, "The e-bus facility will not only improve access to neighbouring areas and pilgrimage hubs but also reduce pollution levels in Delhi." Earlier, DTC ran regular buses to areas in Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, UP, Uttarakhand and Rajasthan, but began discontinuing services from 2001 onwards as its fleet switched entirely to CNG, which is not easily available in these states, making long-distance travel almost impossible. By 2010, DTC's interstate operations became limited to NCR because, on average, a CNG-run low-floor bus has a range of about 250 km per fill. A DTC official said that most commuters preferred the interstate bus services over buses of other state transport corporations. "Back then, DTC buses connected Delhi to several cities, including Jaipur, Chandigarh, Udaipur, Shimla and Haridwar," he added.
