Madhya Pradesh to Launch Road Projects Worth Rs 8000 Cr Ahead of Simhastha 2028

Bhopal, April 15 (NationPress) In preparation for Simhastha 2028, the state of Madhya Pradesh is proactively advancing three significant road construction initiatives, which include the Badnawar-Thandla road, Ujjain-Jhalawad road, and a six-lane bypass in Indore.

The Union Minister Nitin Gadkari recently visited the towns of Badnawar and Pithampur in western Madhya Pradesh, announcing these crucial infrastructure undertakings designed to enhance connectivity and foster development within the state, especially in light of the Simhastha Kumbha that will take place in 2028.

“He has granted us approvals for these three road projects,” stated Kailash Vijayvargiya, the state’s urban development minister, on Tuesday. During discussions about the upcoming Simhastha festival, Union Minister Gadkari highlighted the necessity of presenting proposals to the central government for additional backing and partnership.

“One of the principal projects is the Badnawar-Thandla road, which will extend for 81 kilometers with an investment of Rs 1,900 crore. This project is anticipated to greatly improve regional connectivity, especially for tribal-dominated regions, enabling more efficient transportation for both residents and businesses. Furthermore, the Ujjain-Jhalawad road initiative has been initiated, covering a distance of 133 kilometers with a budget of Rs 2,500 crore. This development is intended to bolster infrastructure in the area, granting improved access to essential locations and promoting economic advancement,” added the urban development minister.

Another venture involves the construction of a 77-kilometer six-lane bypass in eastern Indore, which is set to revolutionize the city’s transport framework. This Rs 3,500 crore bypass aims to reduce traffic congestion, enhance travel efficiency, and contribute to the urban growth of the city, Vijayvargiya mentioned.

Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has also authorized the establishment of a 134 km long Ujjain-Jhalawar four-lane highway at a cost of Rs 2,500 crore. Once completed, this four-lane road will greatly benefit the local tribal population, particularly in the Agar-Malwa district. The residents of Agar and Susner have long sought the upgrade of the Ujjain-Jhalawar road, which provides a direct connection to Rajasthan.

The Ujjain-Jhalawad road will facilitate easier access for visitors attending the Simhastha Kumbha. The route from Jhalawar to Ujjain will be simplified, allowing for direct traffic flow from the Mahakal temple to the Baglamukhi temple situated in Nalkheda of the Malwa district.

These roads will connect four parliamentary constituencies: Ujjain, Dewas, Rajgarh, and Jhalawar. These ambitious infrastructure projects signify the government’s dedication to enhancing the infrastructure of Madhya Pradesh, creating economic opportunities, and improving the living standards of its inhabitants. With significant investments and strategic planning, these initiatives are poised to pave the way for a more interconnected and prosperous future for the state.
