Essel Infraprojects to build 2 BOT roads to decongest Delhi.

Essel Infraprojects, part of Essel group, recently said it will build two highway projects aimed at decongesting Delhi and easing out traffic flow on the roads connecting six major states with the national capital.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had recently laid the foundation stone for both the projects - Mukarba Chowk Panipat Toll Road Ltd. and Kundli Manesar Expressway Ltd. -- in Sonipat, Haryana.

Essel Infraprojects CEO Ashok Agarwal said: 'Both the projects... Will help in cutting unnecessary travel time, decongest traffic and strengthen the path of development... the Supreme Court has suggested developing the Western Peripheral Expressway, that is, the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Section. The stretch we are developing is part of the same.'

Essel Infraprojects has 15 road projects across India with order book close to Rs. 10,000 crore. The company has so far executed more than 3,600 km stretch across nine states.

The ambitious Rs. 2,128-crore Mukarba Chowk Panipat Toll Road Ltd. (National Highway No 1) project will involve widening of the road connecting the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Chandigarh and Western Uttar Pradesh to Delhi.
