The Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway is delayed until 2022. In the meantime, a machine ‘GHH IS26’ with remarkable reliability has been specially flown in from the supplier and is in operation to help complete the project to meet the new timeline.

The travel time would be reduced from about 18 hours to 8 hours, which means that the: travellers would effectively save a whole day.
