 WHAT IS MAHARASHTRA SAMRUDDHI
MAHAMARG PROJECT?
• THE MAHARASHTRA SAMRUDDHI MAHAMARG IS AN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT THAT WILL BUILD A
FAST- TRACK EXPRESSWAY CONNECTING MUMBAI- THE STATE CAPITAL AND FINANCIAL CAPITAL OF
THE COUNTRY WITH NAGPUR - THE STATE'S WINTER CAPITAL.
• THE PROJECT ALSO PROPOSES TO DEVELOP 20+ KRUSHI SAMRUDDHI KENDRA (NEW TOWNS)
ALONG THE MAHAMARG.
• THE PROJECT HAS TWO BASIC COMPONENTS:
1. A SUPER COMMUNICATION EXPRESSWAY CONNECTING NAGPUR TO MUMBAI AND THE
HINTERLAND OF MAHARASHTRA WITH THE PORT IN MUMBAI AND THE MULTI-MODAL CARGO HUB
IN NAGPUR.
2. KRUSHI SAMRUDDHI KENDRA (NEW TOWNS), COMPRISING AGRO - BASED INDUSTRIES,
COMMERCIAL HUBS AND RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH ALL BASIC AMENITIES PROPOSED TO BE
DEVELOPED AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE EXPRESSWAY AND NATIONAL OR STATE HIGHWAYS.
 DEVELOPMENT
• THE PROJECT WAS APPROVED ON 23 DEC 1999,TO BE BUILT IN TWO PHASES. MAJOR
DEVELOPMENT STARTED IN LATE 2002. IN PHASE I, A FOUR LANE ROAD WAS CONSTRUCTED.
IN PHASE II, THIS ROAD IS BEING EXPANDED TO A SIX-LANE HIGHWAY WITH MULTIPLE
SERVICE ROADS, TUNNELS, AND FLYOVERS. IT IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED BY 2019.
• THE FIRST PHASE OF THE HIGHWAY PROJECT CONNECTS NAGPUR AND AURANGABAD WITH
THE CAPITAL CITY OF MUMBAI IN LESS THAN THE DISTANCE COVERED BY THE NH 6, THE
HISTORIC ROUTE. THIS SECTION OF ROAD SAVES 65 KM DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO
CITIES AND THE TRAVEL TIME OF NEARLY ONE-AND-HALF HOURS.
• AS OF THE BEGINNING OF 2012, THE HIGHWAY WAS 60% COMPLETED. THE AURANGABAD -
MUMBAI SECTOR WAS ALREADY IN USE WITH A FULL FLOW OF TRAFFIC, WHILE THE NAGPUR -
AURANGABAD SECTOR WAS COMPLETED AT THE END OF 2015, BRINGING THE PROJECT TO
80% COMPLETION. IT SHARES THE MAJOR DIRECT ROAD TRAFFIC BETWEEN THESE CITIES,
INCLUDING ALMOST 30%-40% OF TRAFFIC FROM NH 6.
• THE TOTAL COST FOR THIS EXPRESSWAY IS PROJECTED TO BE RS 46,000 CRORE. THE
PORTIONS OF THE ROAD PASSING THROUGH MUMBAI, AURANGABAD, NASHIK, NAGPUR WILL
FEATURE CCTV, FIBRE OPTICS, AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
