To ease congestion and be prepared for the future traffic demands, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) is planning to expand the Mumbai-Pune Expressway into a 10-lane superhighway by 2030.
An MSRDC official, “The upcoming project is an upgrade from the current eight-lane expressway. The 10-lane proposal will incur an additional cost of Rs 1,420 crore, bringing the total construction cost to Rs 8,440 crore. Now the overall project cost is estimated at Rs 14,260 crore.”
If approved, the planned 10-lane Mumbai-Pune Expressway would be one of the country’s largest expressway upgrades, efficiently handling the growing number of vehicles with a future-ready corridor.
MSRDC is set to submit a proposal post-Diwali to fund and execute the project under the Hybrid Annuity Model
