The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on Friday approved the rehabilitation and upgradation of the Ghoti-Trimbak (Mokhada)-Jawhar-Manor-Palghar section of NH-160A in Maharashtra at a total capital cost of INR 3,320.38 crore.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) said the 154.635-km stretch will be developed under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) mode. The region west of Nashik, particularly around Ambad and Satpur, hosts a dense cluster of industrial units developed by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation, generating significant freight traffic.
The project has been proposed in line with PM GatiShakti principles and will connect six PM GatiShakti Economic Nodes, one Social Node and eight Logistics Nodes in Maharashtra. The ministry said this is expected to positively impact the country's Logistics Performance Index (LPI).
In a separate release, MoRTH said the CCEA also approved the construction of four-lane sections of Dhamasiya-Bitada/Movi and Nasarpore-Malotha in Gujarat at a cost of INR 4,583.64 crore.
The 107.67-km-long project forms part of NH-56, which begins at Nimbahera in Rajasthan and passes through Dahod district in Gujarat, Alirajpur district in Madhya Pradesh, before re-entering Gujarat near Chhota Udepur and terminating at its junction with NH-48 near Vapi.
Designed for a speed of 100 km per hour, the project will enable an average travel speed of 70 km per hour, reducing travel time by 40 per cent from 2.5 hours to 1.5 hours.
The CCEA also approved widening of National Highway-167 in Telangana at a total capital cost of INR 3,175.08 crore.
The 80.01-km project from Gudebellur to Mahabubnagar on the Hyderabad-Panaji Economic Corridor will be developed to four-lane standards under the hybrid annuity mode (HAM) through the National Highways (Original) scheme.
The ministry said the project will provide significant connectivity benefits to Narayanpet and Mahabubnagar districts in Telangana.
