Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav expressed gratitude to the Union Cabinet for approving the four-laning of the Badnawar-Petlawad-Thandla-Timarwani section of NH-752D at a cost of Rs 3,839 crore. This project will establish a direct four-lane link from Ujjain to the Timarwani interchange of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, benefiting various industrial centers.
Yadav highlighted the significance of this project, emphasizing its role in enhancing access to industrial hubs like Indore, Pithampur, Ujjain, and Dewas, while fostering economic development in Dhar and Jhabua districts. He also appreciated the extension of the ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ till December 2028 by the Union Cabinet, with an increased budget of Rs 8.69 lakh crore, aiming to provide water to every household.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the development of an 80.45-kilometer four-lane corridor from Badnawar to Timarwani. This initiative aims to enhance travel efficiency, reduce travel time significantly, and strengthen inter-state connectivity, particularly benefiting traffic from Gujarat and Maharashtra heading to Ujjain.
The project’s focus is on improving safety, ensuring uninterrupted traffic flow, reducing congestion, and cutting operating costs. The upgraded corridor is expected to lower logistics expenses, facilitate smoother transportation of goods, and enhance access to key industrial zones and Multi-Modal Logistics Parks in the region.
