Maharashtra Increases Pune Ring Road Cost by Rs 10,502 Crore, Transfers Project to MSRDC
The Maharashtra government has approved an additional Rs 10,502 crore for the Pune Ring Road project after transferring a key stretch from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC). This raises the total project cost to Rs 53,213.39 crore. The decision follows delays by the NHAI and includes expenditures on land acquisition and construction. The project aims to decongest Pune with eastern and western arms, amid the state's rising public debt and fiscal deficits.
