JP Group to carry out Taj Expressway project

Agra, Dec 25 (UNI) The Rs 1,200 crore Taj Express Way -- an ambitious project for connecting Greater Noida and Agra with state-of-the-art highway, would be completed in four to six years.

The project, which was under controversy for various reasons, has been cleared and the Jai Prakash (JP) Group would carry out the work.

JP Group Executive Vice President Sushil Joshi here today said the task of setting up the 162 Km Taj Express way was handed over to the JP Group after the investigation commission passed the project.

''The state government would allot land for the project which is self-financing and it would be completed within 4 to 6 years,'' Mr Joshi informed.

He said the five to eight-lane highway would be connected with five Satellite townships to be developed alongside the expressway.
