The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has officially delayed the opening of the remaining 76-kilometer stretch of the Samruddhi Mahamarg until December 2024, pushing back from an earlier target of September 2024. This infrastructure project, which commenced in January 2019, is intended to significantly improve transportation and connectivity across Maharashtra. The delays are attributed to various factors including construction challenges and logistical issues. The Samruddhi Mahamarg is a key initiative to enhance economic activity and reduce travel time within the region. While partial segments of the road are operational, the full functionality hinges on the completion of this last stretch.

The MSRDC has stated its commitment to addressing the challenges to meet the new deadline. Stakeholders, including local businesses and commuters, are advised to prepare for continued impacts on travel patterns and business operations. As the completion date approaches, further updates from MSRDC will clarify the situation regarding this critical roadway.
