Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has announced the construction of the Kota–Vidisha–Sagar Greenfield Expressway, a major interstate infrastructure project aimed at strengthening road connectivity between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. The proposed expressway is estimated to cost around ₹16,000 crore and is expected to significantly reduce travel distance and time between the key cities of Kota, Vidisha, and Sagar.
One of the major highlights of the project is that it will reduce the Kota–Sagar travel distance by nearly 75 kilometres, making journeys faster, safer, and more fuel-efficient. As a greenfield expressway, it will be built on a new alignment with modern design standards, controlled access, and high-speed travel facilities. The road will also integrate with existing and upcoming national corridors, including links to the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway, enhancing long-distance connectivity.
The expressway is expected to play a crucial role in boosting trade, logistics, tourism, and industrial development in both states. It will improve access to markets for farmers, support regional businesses, and generate employment during and after construction. Overall, the Kota–Vidisha–Sagar Greenfield Expressway is seen as a strategic project that will accelerate economic growth and improve interstate mobility in central India.
