Nagpur: For one person traveling by car from Nagpur to Mumbai in Samruddhi Mahamarg, costs including fuel and RS1.160 toll road will add up to one-way flight tickets.
Even though it’s excited about the prospect of travel fast, the majority feel toll will be too high.
Toi has reported on August 21 Statement of the Joint Managing Director of Maharashtra State Development Corporation (MSRDC) Anilkumar Gaikwad, that the victim for a one-way trip will be around RS1,100 on the toll road, which is being built at the cost of RS55.

With RS1.65 per km because per central government guidance, the total toll road over 701km toll road will be around RS1,157.
The Minister of Public Works Eknath Shinde during his visit to the project a few days ago said the speed limit would be 150 km per hour.
With an average of 20 km per liter for diesel cars, the cost of fuel will be around RS3.325.
Thus, the total cost will be RS4,482 for a one-way trip.
The cost per head will decrease if some people travel in the car.

BJP MLC Pravin Datke said, “RULL RS1.160 is expensive for most people.
It will not be justified if we calculate the toll for this project.
Apart from advanced infrastructure, toll roads will benefit the country and district side by side in various ways.” Congress Corporator Pramful Gudadhe said, “I oppose the victim for any project.
The government restores road tax when we buy a vehicle.
Therefore, there is no toll problem that must arise.
Also, large amounts of farmers provide their property.
No doubt, the project is good but toll Not justified.
“The President through NGO Janmanch Pramod Pande was too agreed.
“The government must rethink and free the victim.
It is the basic responsibility of the government to facilitate the way because it collects taxes in various behaviors,” he said.
Organizing Secretary Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat’s Vidarbha Unit Pande Sharp Pande said, “The project is very good and will be beneficial for people.
But the RS1.160 toll road is very high and must be reduced to around RS500.
The government must not restore all costs from people and have to subsidize.
“MSRDC has announced the number of victims only for the distance traveled, and not for the whole road.
This will help save money if someone is not traveling directly from Nagpur to Mumbai but go to the district in the middle of the road.
Reacting to the story of TOI on social media, Busshan Viggle and Sunny said they would prefer to go to Mumbai by Duronto because the victim was too high.
Koutsuk said the toll road was far more than flight tickets, and it was a bad idea.
MSRDC has not officially told the victim.
Shinde has claimed 80% of works completed on the stretch of Nagpur to Mumbai, and the revised deadline was December 2021.
The whole road until Thane will be completed in December 2022.
