Electric buses between Delhi-Jaipur on Eway soon: Gadkari

Udaipur: Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Monday that electric bus will be started by laying electric cable on Delhi-Mumbai Express National Highway and the distance from Delhi to Jaipur will be covered in two hours and its fare will be 30 percent less than a diesel bus.

Addressing the inauguration and foundation stone laying ceremony of 17 road projects with an investment of more than Rs 2,500 crore in Udaipur to accelerate the development of Mewar, Gadkari said, “I believe that from Bandikui to Jaipur for Rs 1370 crore, we are constructing a 67-kilometer four-lane expressway. This work will be completed by November 2024 and after that, I assure you that the journey from Delhi to Jaipur will be within 2 hours.” CM Bhajan Lal Sharma said work done in Raj after 2014 under leadership of PM Modi is historic.
