The project passes through various cities like Dadri, Gautam Budh Nagar, Sikandrabad, Bulandshahr, and Khurja. It serves as an important trade route, facilitates movement of goods and contributes to regional economic development by connecting industrial areas, agricultural areas and educational institutions. For sustainability and cost-effectiveness, the project has implemented the use of Cold Central Plant Recycling (CCPR) technology. This innovative green technology involves the use of 90 percent milled material, which is equivalent to approximately 2 million square meters of road surface.
As a result, the consumption of virgin material is reduced by only 10 percent. Adopting this approach has significantly reduced fuel consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions, thereby contributing significantly to reducing the carbon footprint.
