Touring the Nagpur to Mumbai Samruddhi Mahamarg expressway in a Mercedes-AMG E 63 S! | Autocar India 

Mr. Gadkari- salute 🙏 This expressway is dead straight in most places, world class quality 👏

Can't wait for the upcoming Mumbai-Delhi 😭 expressway

Really a proud moment for India!! More such road networks are needed in the country. The upcoming Delhi-Mumbai industrial corridor is going to be the next big achievement for us. New India Better India 🇮🇳

"American roads are not good because America is rich, but America is rich because American roads are good," US President John F Kennedy once said. This is how countries prosper and progress. Kudos to India.

I guess the reason why the speed limit is not 150kmph on this expressway is simple. People and cars ,People are not experienced to handle such speeds and likely go above it, at most places .Majority of Indian cars are either not tested for safety or have failed safety tests . Hope this helps!!!!

India needs such more roads!!!!

I’m just happy to see my country’s growth 😃

Watching from 🇳🇬Nigeria this is crazy awesome

Maharashtra is always ranked first for development of india in all feilds…Proud Maharashtrian❤❤❤

Powerful Peoples Makes Places Powerful.......👑The Royal Maharashtra👑 Maharashtra will always remain no 1 state of india....because we have blessings of our Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj...🙏🙏🙏

7:15 This video is 2 months old ..that time we didnt even know who Eknath shinde was...now everyone knows who he is .

Maharashtra as usual shows the nation way forward.🙏 Glad that the road completed on time.

Nagpur is at the centre of India. So, the success of this road can be a role model for similar projects to boost pan India connectivity. For instance, Nagpur-Chennai, Nagpur-Kolkata ( Via gaya with straight branching to Patna, Ranchi, Vizag) Nagpur-Chennai, Nagpur- Delhi ( with a provision for straight branching to Lahore and Karachi for future)

Most of the people are here for samruddhi Mahamarg 😜

Kerala government should watch this and we need a road like this not rail

Proud to be Nagpurkar, Proud to be Maharashtrian, Proud to be an Indian!!!

All credit goes to Mr. Nitin Gadkari. Marvelous piece of work.

Imagine roads like these all over INDIA in near future and 500 hp electric cars from Tata and Mahindra zip past through them. A true developed Nation. 🇮🇳

The kind of potential for development that such huge infrastructural projects hold, in a fast developing economy like ours, is mind boggling. I can only imagine the plethora of oppportunities this Expressway opens up for a wide range of population, from businessmen to unemployed youth to agriculturists. Looks really promising. Thank you @AutocarIndia for an entertaining as well as thought provoking video.

Kudos to MSRDC after the success of Mumbai - Pune EWay they have unleashed ME2; the samruddhi express way will catapult Maharashtra to the next level of urbanization. The Expressway is going to witness development of lots food joints, resorts, parks and other commercial establishments. The entire 700 km stretch will urbanize like anything. Hope work on the Vidarbha and Marathwada extensions begins sooner.

My mother worked in this project. I feel proud of her

It's very proud to see that UP and Maharashtra fighting for the king of expressway Pradesh.

All credit goes to honest taxpayers like me, Both governments center and state, engineers and workers and farmers who gave their land for this project.

Omfg. This is our Indian highways now? Looks amazing and would go to Mumbai-Nagpur just to see this marvel.

This is actually great for India. This is the future on how roads will connect cities. Also kudos to the team for valuing the wildlife. I hope this happens across all of India. Super Proud

The Indian Autobahn, an absolute masterpiece. Bravo

Every state in India should have this kind of world class road connectivity.

Amazing road, superb car and entertaining host. I hope the access control and cameras are not just for the speed but also for lanes. Heavy trucks hog right Lane which is only for overtaking on Mumbai Pune expressway and it results into accidents, chaos and defeats the whole purpose of an expressway. I hope the government enforces very strict Lane discipline and speed limit like we have in the West.

जय महाराष्ट्र !!!

This is what we call development, fantastic infrastructure 👌

Expressway will be operational from Nagpur to washim 230km on 2nd May 2022 Excited 😁

Thanks to Gadkari and central govt for doing this Mega project... Salute to all. This is what development is all about

The Road and The Name given 🔥🔥🔥

Atleast Someone in that cabinet is doing absolutely fantastic.

My Tamilnadu govt should watch this ....this road totally made by own Maharashtra govt that is the great think about this expressway .... Not like UP, gujrat in which 80% expressways & highways are made by centeral govt ✌️.... Only reason why Maharashtra are so developed , because of its Hard-works 👌

I am just waiting to take my new NEXON on this Expressway. Jai Hind Jai Maharashtra

Roads like these should have a lower speed limit too, like there is, in US and Europe. Despite the road, there will be trucks and several passenger cars which will literally drive at a snail's pace in all the lanes, essentially slowing the entire highway down. Now that such infrastructure is being constructed, such problems need to be addressed before they become problems.

I've not even noted the car. What a ROAD!!! India is developing fast 💪

Finally some worthy roads that can run BUGGATIs and H2s!!

Once it fully opens, will have to do a road trip to mumbai, experience this beautiful piece of art for us automobile enthusiast 😃

You guys are so damn privileged. Driving that car on an empty world class highway and not paying for speeding. Hats off to msrdc and the govt for this project

I've never seen such thing in Europe tbh. This road is absolutely topnotch. 👌🏻I also like the wildlife cross passing. Awesome!

people here will now shift from suv to fast sedan's in no time 😂

You should see the roads in Kerala, we don't even have a single good road, even if we found a good stretch and decided to take it to 80kmh..SPEED CAMERAS ARE EVERYWHERE...OUR GOVERNMENT IS EVEN SURVING BY THE FINES COLLECTED BY SPEED CAMERAS...🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

Great content, good initiative by Nitin Gadkari and amazing work by all engineers and labours involved in building the roads.

Kudos to the Maharashtra government for this marvellous work. The road looks amazing can't wait to drive on this 😀

@ 3:01 "So excuse me if I give into temptation every now and then" and the wide smile going full throttle will put a smile on every car enthusiast.

Congratulations to the Maharashtra govt for this world class project. If we leave behind religion and caste we can conquer universes. Hats off to the team who worked day and night to make this project a dream come true 👍 🙌 👏

The name's almost as long as the beautiful, beautiful highway. Well, at least it'll make the GK contests interesting. Great video as always, Autocar.

GREAT content from #autocarindia . You guys never disappoint! Love from Nagpur ♥️

Wow. Just wow

Nagpur to mumbai 8 hours mumbai to Nariman Point 4 hours 😆

This expressway will unlock the potential of interior Maharashtra. Cannot wait to drive to Nagpur on this pristine ribbon of tarmac.

One of the devloped state in Bharat Long live Maharashtra

Love u Shinde Sir.. What u did takes a lot of courage taking head on with biggest goon on Maharashtra - Sharad Pawar & Udhav Thackeray!!! U have spine of a Maratha !! GOD BLESS U.. Will love to hear more from you Sir!!

Who else got goosebumps with the drone view of the expressway ? Expressway is Really amazing . Can’t wait to drive on this !

Cant wait to drive to Nagpur on this road 😍😍

Our nation is changing 🤩

Hindu Hridaya Samrat Balasaheb Thakre Expressway

"18 townships proposed to come up along this expressway." Hopefully that won't turn this expressway into an inner city jam-filled road and this will remain as expressway.

Maharashtra the number 1 state.

You guys always amaze us with your content.. 👍👍 Just on a funny note.. as speed limit is max 120, then it doesn't matter we go by AMG E63 S or our BMW Baleno 😜😜

This is India’s roadway to future..job well done!!

People's CM Eknath Shinde sahab

Balasaheb Thackeray 🇮🇳🚩🔥

Great job by the government. More of such projects are required in our country. Hope the trucks will stick to proper lane and drive sensibly.

Raipur to nagpur (6hrs 240 km) -nagpur to pune (6 hrs 690km )....dammnn

Im from Nagpur 🖤

Finally, no more spending 5hours to get to Virar.. just drive down from Nagpur..

india need more of these kind of roads... india is transforming.

Excellent content and superb road. I would request all my fellow citizens to keep this road neat and clean and not litter it by throwing plastic bottles and other stuff out of the window on the side of this magnificent piece of art. The Government is doing something good for us citizens so we should also respect their effort. Also a big salute to Mr. Nitin Gadkariji for transforming India's roadways and overall vehicular safety regulations. He is truly doing some great work and not just giving promises like some of our esteemed leaders.

Can't wait for the expressway to open... Driving my Mustang on this world class road will be fun.🔥

India is moving towards sustainable development due to good leaders and vision...amazing road with amazing car....kudos autocar

Expressway is great, but the 1200 rupees for a 700km journey in just tolls which saves 8 hours seems excessive for most people. Recovering money from this may become difficult which can lead to a similar situation that China is facing with its HSR network, i.e., underutilization & debt. I would suggest to cap the toll to 1 rupee per km which will definitely lead to many more people utilizing the expressway. To put that into perspective, a 1hr 30 min flight between 2 cities costs 1700 rupees per person. That is 6800 for 4 people. While a car with 4 people in it costs 5000 fuel +1200 toll = 6200.( this is a conservative measure given the efficiency is 14 km/l. 8 hours travel time…..

Proud to be Maharashtrian 💯🔥 This is superb

All sounds good. But what are the measures for enforcing lane discipline for heavy vehicles? Speed limit for Truck is 80 Km/hr and that for Car is 120 Km/hr. Obviously lane restriction should also be maintained for Trucks.

Glad it has been named after the great Balsaheb Thackeray. An apt tribute to him.

Vision, planning & execution. World-class road for our state. Congratulations to the team.

If Nitin Gadkari Sir was in charge of the metro/costal project, I can only imagine where Mumbai would be right now.

This Goverment is best in infrastructure development. Love it

Strict lane discipline should be followed in this highway. No slow vehicles in the right most lanes

Looks like a international Express Roadway.... Remembering NFS_Most wanted

I watched it again just to see , eknath shinde

Love from Nagpur...Jai Maharashtra 🚩🚩🕉️🕉️

Please , be clarifiefied this is not a project of NHAI, it's a project of GOVT. Of Maharastra

Just see how much good work an educated and motivated ministers can do !! Hats off to the Maharashtra government for accomplishing this amazing feat !!

I did solo Bangalore to Mumbai in one day in a lowest amt hatchback. Could do a return journey easily with your car in a day

Concrete roads nice... But makes more tyre sound...

Gadkari - the Infra man of India. Impressive stuff. Hope they don't start racing super splendours and bullock carts here though

i am more impressed with the expressway!

They sure missed an opportunity. This could've been the unrestricted Autobhan of India. Smh... Amazing project though. Kudos to Government of India.

Now we have roads that super cars can stretch their legs on & it's time to break the stereotype of Indian roads can't handle super cars . Since there are a lot of express way around the nation, it would be dream come true for enthusiasts. Here in Kerala everything is kinda locked, even in highway signals are 500m apart & now comes speed cameras for govt to collect some cash 😒

Finally a Mercedes Benz AMG that can stretch it's legs in India like it's siblings in the German Autobahn.

Wow !! What a Road(Highway) 👏👏👏. Tell me who on earth will not be tempted to speed in this kinda road !! 😁 Neways safety first!!

Nice coverage by Autocar India great work.. Congrats to Autocar team💐💐💐💐💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻From Amravati Maharashtra

Feels better by looking at this type of infrastructure.. india is growing 💗

World class infrastructure. Atal tunnel and now this new highway. India has the opportunity to show the world what true world class roads are. Not many countries have this opportunity. Hopefully I can drive on it one day.

What a road for what a car!! Hope autocar will also bring up a ride on the ongoing NE from Delhi to Mumbai....

I’ve travelled a lot on this road for 8 years, my Father was posted in Gondia, Chandrapur, Nagpur for all thise years. Being an Driving enthusiast most of the time drove my VW Polo 1.2 Manual. It was a hectic journey always. Once during Diwali, i drove the car for exactly 25 hours till Gondia( with one lunch & Dinner brakes ) it was actually impossible for to drive the car that long but i don’t know how i did it. And record time i took was 14 hours, till Gondia, but that was on 23rd march 2020, the day after Janta curfew. My father being a police officer knew that a 14 day curfew is coming in and declaration will be coming any time, he called me in the Morning and asked me to leave as soon as possible. I didn’t have my polo at that time, it was with my then Girlfriend(now wife), she took it to her hometown. How do i leave the city? I Had a hero Honda Karizma and started packing to leave the city on bike. Luckily my friend offered his Old Tata Nano(2013 model) and i left the city in Tata Nano, it took me 14 hours ( detail story is too interesting ) but why is comment section? But i don’t use the road anymore as my father has retired. But the day road is open for general public, i ll go to Nagpur only to see how does it feel to cutshort it. ❤️

Me watching from Kerala. Please give us at least a 4 lane highway. 🥺
