With its construction, it will be possible to easily travel from the states of North India to Jamnagar and Kandla ports of Gujarat.

The expressway built under the Bharat Mala project will reduce travel time between many big cities in the coming days. With the completion of this project, Amritsar and Jamnagar of Punjab can be reached in just 12 hours instead of 23 hours.
