Jaipur gets Rs 2,400 cr for infra devp

Jaipur: In Bhajan Lal Govt’s inaugural budget, Jaipur received an array of transformative projects and investments. A total allocation exceeding Rs 2,400 crore promises significant infrastructural enhancements across the city.

Highlighting the ambitious plans are three major elevated roads, led by a 9-kilometer stretch from Ambedkar Circle to JLN Circle, set to cost 1100 crore rupees. Another notable project includes a 3.6-kilometer elevated road from Collectorate to Rajmahal Chauraha, budgeted at 400 crore rupees. Additional developments feature three flyovers and four Railway Over Bridges (ROBs) across Jaipur, alongside substantial funds allocated for road upgrades in Mansarovar and Sanganer, and promises of new roads in Vidhyadhar Nagar. A feasibility study for constructing a 30 km road between Tonk Road and Fagi Road is proposed at a cost of ‱3 crore. This road will provide good connectivity to JDA’s Knowledge City South, Chittora, and other schemes.

In the next five years, the JDA has set a target to construct 300 kilometers of sector roads. In the first phase, 100 kilometers of sector roads will be built in the current financial year at a cost of Rs 50 crore. This construction will facilitate the planned development of adjacent areas.

The construction of sector roads, which have been pending for years, will improve connectivity in various regions. Additionally, a flyover is proposed to be constructed on the 250-feet and 200-feet roads near Mahindra SEZ on Ajmer Road at a cost of ‱90 crore. This project will provide a smooth route for vehicles traveling from Sanganer to Bagru.
