87 km stretch delays ₹1 lakh cr Delhi-Mumbai expressway by 4 yrs

Three Gujarat stretches totalling 87 kms have become a key bottleneck for the 1,386-km Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Awarded to RSIIL, the packages show under 20% progress in four years. NHAI is considering termination amid disputes over land availability, contractor performance, and controversial re-awarding of contracts.
