The roads of Madhya Pradesh are transforming into critical arteries for economic development, investment, and new opportunities, according to the state's Public Works Department Minister Rakesh Singh. In a recent announcement, Singh revealed plans for six major expressway projects, totaling 3,368 kilometers, at a cost of Rs 36,483 crore.

These new projects, including the Narmada Pragati Path and Vindhya Expressway, are part of an ambitious three-year development plan. Scheduled for completion by June 2028, these roads aim to reduce travel time, enhance safety, and energize industrial, agricultural, and tourism activities in the state.
