New Delhi : Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday said the government is planning to build an electric highway between Delhi and Mumbai.
Addressing an event of Hydraulic Trailer Owners Association here, Gadkari said the government is planning an electric highway between Delhi and Mumbai.
An electric highway is usually a road on which electricity is supplied to the vehicles traveling on it. This electricity is carried to the vehicle through wires installed on the road.
He did not elaborate on the plan, saying, “You can drive a trolleytruck like a trolleybus.” A trolleybus is an electric bus that runs on a power supply from overhead wires.
Speaking on the occasion, Gadkari said that his ministry has decided to connect all the districts with four-lane roads. He said that the government is also constructing tunnels worth Rs 2.5 lakh crore.
He said that there is a need to digitize all the services to reduce the corruption in the Regional Transport Offices of the states.
