Delhi-Mumbai National Corridor (NH 48 section of the Golden Quadrilateral) is one the busiest and most critical corridor of the national highways network, connecting the national capital with the financial capital of the country. The corridor carries an average traffic of ~80,000 PCUs currently and the traffic is expected to grow to ~100,000 PCUs in the next 2 – 3 years. In addition, a network of 75-way side amenities has also been planned on either side of the expressways at an interval of 50 km. The larger wayside amenities boast of commercial facilities such as motels/ dormitories for truck drivers, hotels for car/ bus passengers, etc., in addition to the standard facilities such as fuel stations, restaurants to enable comfortable passenger and freight movement on the expressways. These wayside amenities will be located strategically near the major economic centers catered to by the expressways, so as to leverage the economic activity around these centers. Additional commercial facilities such as convention centers, shopping centers, temporary material storage yards, etc. are also being planned to provide more options for the road users and to commercialize the land parcel. The corridor is being executed in EPC mode and is expected to be completed in the next 2 – 3 years.
