A 32‑km road worth Rs 98 crore is being built in Hatpiplya, Madhya Pradesh, expected to shorten the Devas route by up to 45 km and benefit about 70,000 people from 25 villages.
The Madhya Pradesh government has approved a Rs 98 crore road project linking Rajoda, Kelod and Double Chowki, creating a 32‑kilometre stretch that will serve the Hatpiplya region. The new alignment is expected to reduce the distance to Devas by roughly 40‑45 kilometres, easing travel for commuters.
The construction is slated to benefit around 70,000 residents across 25 villages, providing them with a more reliable and faster connection to nearby towns and markets. Local officials say the reduced travel time will also boost economic activity and access to essential services.
Work on the road is underway, with contractors tasked to complete the project within the allocated budget and timeline. Once finished, the route will become a key segment of the Rajoda‑Kelod‑Double Chowki corridor, enhancing regional connectivity in central Madhya Pradesh.
