In a significant push to enhance connectivity and drive economic growth in Jharkhand, the Central Government has announced national highway projects worth ₹2 lakh crore for the state. Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, declared the Centre’s commitment to transforming Jharkhand’s infrastructure landscape through a comprehensive network of expressways and economic corridors.

Speaking at a public event in Garhwa, Gadkari outlined the ambitious roadmap:

  • Projects worth ₹40,000 crore have already been completed,

  • ₹70,000 crore worth are under execution,

  • ₹75,000 crore worth of projects are in the pipeline.

Key mega projects include:

  • Varanasi–Ranchi–Kolkata Greenfield Corridor (₹36,000 crore) – to be completed by March 2028

  • Ranchi–Varanasi Economic Corridor (₹12,800 crore) – targeted for January 2028

  • Delhi–Kolkata Six-Lane Expressway (₹31,700 crore) – scheduled for June 2026

Highlighting progress, Gadkari revealed that Jharkhand’s national highway network has grown from 2,600 km in 2014 to 4,470 km today, now covering all 19 aspirational districts in the state.

At the event, the minister inaugurated a 23-km four-lane highway from Shankha to Khajoori (₹1,130 crore) and laid the foundation for the four-laning of a 32-km stretch of NH-39 from the Chhattisgarh–Jharkhand border to Gumla (₹1,330 crore).

“This is not just infrastructure building—this is a vision to power Jharkhand’s growth and connectivity with neighbouring states like Bihar and Chhattisgarh,” highlighted Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari

Urging state cooperation, Gadkari called on the Jharkhand government to expedite land acquisition and environmental clearances to unlock the full potential of these transformative projects. (Source: PTI)
