Overview

• Toll collection on the 28.71 km Sanchore–Santalpur section (Package-4) of the Amritsar–Jamnagar Expressway was suspended at 8 AM on July 15.
• The suspension aims to ensure commuter safety and convenience while crews complete essential rectification work on monsoon-damaged segments.
• Under directives from NHAI and Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, repair operations are continuing even on days with minimal rainfall and during holidays.
• Defect liability clauses hold contractors responsible for any post-construction damage and obligate them to finance and execute prompt, high-quality repairs.
• The Sanchore–Santalpur corridor is a critical link in the Bharatmala Pariyojana, improving connectivity from northern states to western ports such as Jamnagar and Mundra.
