PM Modi to Inaugurate Delhi–Dehradun Economic Corridor During Visit to UP and Uttarakhand

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand tomorrow, April 14, where he will inaugurate the Delhi–Dehradun Economic Corridor in Dehradun.

The 213 km, 6-lane corridor, built at a cost of over ₹12,000 crore, will significantly reduce travel time between Delhi and Dehradun from around 6–7 hours to nearly 2.5–3 hours, boosting regional connectivity across Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

A key feature of the project is the 12 km wildlife elevated corridor, one of the longest in Asia, along with multiple animal passes and underpasses, ensuring both smooth travel and protection of biodiversity while opening new avenues for tourism, trade and employment.
