JAIPUR: The Delhi-Jaipur express highway would be built at a cost of Rs 18,000 crore, Union Road Minister Nitin Gadkari said today.The advanced cement-concrete 225-km express highway will be the second in the country after Mumbai-Pune express highway and will pave the way for reaching Delhi from Jaipur in just one-and-a-half hour at 125 km/hour speed, the minister said after laying the foundation of road construction works in Dausa district today. "Agra-Delhi is also considered express highway but it is not as per the standard. Industrialists demand water, power and road. With small efforts, we will make the state a better place to live. We hope that promises that Union minister has made will realise fast," Raje said.
