Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated the first phase of the nearly 1,400-km Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, an ambitious project in Dausa, Rajasthan.

With the completion of the 246-km Delhi-Dausa-Lalsot section of the expressway, the travel time from Delhi to Jaipur will reduce from five hours to about three-and-a-half hours.

The construction of this road is also expected to increase the opportunities for economic development in the entire region.

Addressing a public meeting in Dhanavar village of Dausa in eastern Rajasthan, Prime Minister Modi said, "Studies show that investment in infrastructure leads to more investment. Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas is our mantra for the nation, we follow it." We are making 'Capable India'."

He pressed the button of the remote to inaugurate the route.

The PM called the expressway "a shining picture of developing India".

Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister of State VK Singh, Union Minister Gajendra Singh and other leaders were present on the stage at the function.
