Overview
- The 66.916 km four-lane Greenfield Bandikui Spur launched its toll-free, 10-day trial on July 3 with a maximum speed limit of 120 km/h.
- The new link features four operational interchanges at Bhedoli, Khurikurd, Sundarpura and Geela ki Nangal, along with slip lanes and a cloverleaf ramp for direct Delhi–Mumbai Expressway access.
- Officials estimate the route will reduce Jaipur–Delhi travel to 3–3.5 hours and cut the trip to the DND Flyway entry to around 2.5 hours.
- NHAI is completing final quality and safety inspections and awaiting Ministry of Road Transport and Highways approval before scheduling the formal inauguration and toll collection.
- Built at a cost of ₹2,016 crore, the spur is expected to ease congestion on NH-48 and NH-21, boost logistics efficiency and support regional tourism.
