The union minister, who simply accomplished a whirlwind tour to evaluate the progress of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway that can move by 4 states aside from the nationwide capital, stated the nationwide highways infrastructure is a world-class success story.

"Once the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is completed and opened for the public, we will get at least Rs 1,000-1,500 crore as toll revenues every month," he stated.
