According to Times of India sources, two crucial segments totaling 62 kilometers in Gujarat only saw bidding commence in November 2023, while construction on one of these segments began in April this year, and the other started just this month. Initially slated for completion by January 2023, the project has encountered multiple setbacks, pushing the revised target to March 2024, which has also been missed. Sources reveal that constructing each stretch requires a minimum of eighteen months. To expedite progress, the project was divided into smaller 'packages' for faster execution. Officials assure that all outstanding land acquisition issues are being actively addressed. Presently, approximately 630 kilometers of the total 1,386 kilometers have been opened to traffic in various segments. Notable sections include Sohna-Dausa-Sawai Madhopur (293 km) and Jhalawar-MP/Gujarat border (245 km). Authorities express confidence that the 845-kilometer stretch from Sohna to Vadodara will be fully operational by March 2025.
