“We have started preparing the alignment and also acquiring land for the Vadodara-Mumbai section," said a senior NHAI official, who did not want to be identified. The other three sections where expressway work is expected to be taken up are Delhi-Meerut, Kolkata-Dhanbad and Bangalore-Chennai. “We are doing a viability check of these projects," said the official.
Expressway construction is part of the sixth phase of the National Highways Development Programme. The official said they would need to expand the ambit of the award structure, by adding more incentives for the developer in the concession agreements.
