New Delhi: plans to build charging stations for electric buses every 20 kilometers on the country’s largest Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Such charging stations will be built on the lines of Sweden. Once charged at these charging stations, the train will run for about 200 kilometers. According to Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, up to 50 per cent work on this highway has been completed.
Gadkari says that there are plans to lay tracks like the railways on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway to run electric buses. At the same time, it will take only around 12 hours to reach Delhi-Mumbai due to the construction of this expressway. The 1258 km long expressway will cost around Rs 1 lakh crore. The target of completing this highway has been set for January 2023. This highway will be Green High Way. This will save about 32 crore liters of fuel every year. This will reduce the emission of about 85 million kilometers of carbon dioxide annually, which is equivalent to planting 40 million trees.

This expressway will pass through a total of 5 states, including Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra. It will also provide excellent connectivity to economic hubs like Jaipur, Kishangarh, Ajmer, Kota, Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Bhopal, Ujjain, Indore, Ahmedabad and Surat.
