**Policy Summary: Inauguration of Highway Projects in Delhi**
On August 17, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate two major National Highway projects in Delhi, with a combined cost of approximately Rs. 11,000 crore. The event will take place at approximately 12:30 PM in Rohini, Delhi.
The projects include the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II). These projects aim to decongest Delhi, improve connectivity, reduce travel time, and alleviate traffic congestion in Delhi and surrounding areas.

This development will ease traffic on Delhi's Inner and Outer Ring Roads and key traffic points such as Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09.
