Centre Approves Rs 991 Crore for Six-Laning Kandla-Mundra Port Highway in Gujarat
The Indian government has approved Rs 991 crore to widen the 57.8 km stretch of National Highway 41 between Gandhidham (Kandla) and Mundra in Gujarat to six lanes. This highway is a vital freight corridor connecting Deendayal and Mundra ports, handling over 55,000 vehicles daily, including heavy trucks. The project includes new flyovers, underpasses, bridge reconstructions, and safety enhancements within the existing right of way. The upgrade aims to reduce travel time by about 20%, lower logistics costs, and support trade and industrial growth in the Kutch region.
