MUMBAI: Considering the massive crowd of devotees and the need for traffic management during the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela in Nashik, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari gave in-principle approval for the development and construction of necessary road infrastructure through the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. It was decided in the meeting that Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) would be prepared soon, and funds would be allocated accordingly. Acknowledging the growing faith of devotees and increasing footfall at the Kumbh Mela, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi for support at the central level to ensure proper planning and strengthened road infrastructure. Based on this guidance, a high-level meeting was held today at the Chief Minister's Office in Nagpur with the presence of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, the govt of Maharashtra, and senior officials from concerned departments, where these decisions were taken. The meeting was attended by Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan, Public Works Minister Shambhuraj Desai, MPs Smita Wagh, MLAs Devyani Pharande and Mangesh Chavan, Transport Ministry Secretary V. Umashankar, NHAI Chairman Santosh Yadav, Additional Chief Secretary of PWD Manisha Mhaiskar, Divisional Commissioner Praveen Gedam, Special IG Dattatray Karale, Nashik Police Commissioner Sandeep Karnik, District Collector Jalaj Sharma, and Nashik Municipal Commissioner Manisha Khatri, among others. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Stocks for Monthly Dividends Seeking Alpha Read Now Undo Nashik is connected by eight major routes, including Mumbai, Gujarat, Palghar, Pune, Ahilyanagar, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and Dhule. All these roads play a crucial role during the Kumbh period. In addition, internal roads in and around Nashik that connect to national highways were also discussed in the meeting. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari gave in-principle approval to nearly all proposed roads, and it was decided that the required funds would be provided soon and the works would be completed. Chief minister Fadnavis stated that the expected surge in traffic during Kumbh would be managed effectively through an expanded road network, ensuring safer travel for devotees. Approval was granted for the Nashik Ring Road, and a decision was made to expand the Nashik–Trimbakeshwar road into a six-lane highway. To ensure smooth traffic within Nashik, a key decision was taken to enhance infrastructure at Dwarka Circle. Like Kalamboli Junction in Navi Mumbai, Dwarka Circle will be developed in two phases — one before Kumbh and the other after the event. Routes to be developed: Ghoti – Pahine – Trimbakeshwar – Jawhar Phata Dwarka Circle – Sinnar IC 21 ( Samruddhi Expressway ) – Nandur Shingote – Kolhar Nashik to Kasara Sawli Vihir (IC 20 Samruddhi Expressway) – Shirdi – Shani Shingnapur Phata (Rahuri Khurd) Nashik to Dhule Trimbakeshwar – Jawhar – Manor Sawli Vihir – Manmad – Malegaon Ghoti – Sinnar – Wavi – Shirdi Shani Shingnapur Phata (Rahuri Khurd) – Ahilyanagar (Kharwandi Phata)

Centre Clears Multi-Crore Highway Overhaul In Maharashtra Ahead of Nashik Kumbh 2025
Last Updated: With lakhs of devotees expected to arrive in Nashik, the government is reinforcing and expanding road networks connecting Nashik to cities like Mumbai, Pune, Palghar & Dhule In a significant move to ensure smooth transportation and public convenience for the upcoming Nashik Simhastha Kumbh Mela, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari have jointly approved a major infrastructure revamp. This decision was made during a high-level meeting at the chief minister's office in Nagpur, where key highway upgrades and new roadworks were sanctioned to manage the anticipated surge in pilgrim footfall. With lakhs of devotees expected to arrive in Nashik from across Maharashtra and neighbouring states, the government is reinforcing and expanding road networks connecting Nashik to cities like Mumbai, Pune, Gujarat, Palghar, Sambhajinagar, Dhule, and more. Fadnavis had earlier sought the Centre's assistance, citing the increasing religious devotion and crowd pressure associated with the Kumbh. Responding to this, Gadkari gave in-principal approval for the development of nearly all major routes leading to Nashik, with funding to follow after the preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs). Among the major decisions, the long-pending Nashik Ring Road project was approved, along with the six-laning of the Nashik–Trimbakeshwar route, a key corridor for Kumbh pilgrims. Another significant move is the planned redevelopment of Dwarka Circle, a notorious bottleneck. Inspired by Navi Mumbai's Kalamboli Junction model, the circle will undergo a two-phase upgrade—one to be completed before the Kumbh and the other post-festival. Senior ministers Girish Mahajan, Shivendrasinhraje Bhosale, MPs, MLAs, and senior officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), PWD, and Nashik Police were present at the meeting. The consensus was clear—Nashik's existing infrastructure must be transformed to handle the massive traffic loads expected during the religious congregation. Routes like Ghoti–Pahine–Trimbakeshwar–Jawhar Phata, Dwarka Circle–Sinnar–Nandur Shingote–Kolhar, Nashik–Kalyan via Kasara, Nashik–Dhule, Trimbakeshwar–Jawhar–Manor, Shirdi–Shanishingnapur–Ahilyanagar, and others have been identified for rapid enhancement. The Centre has assured support and funding once DPRs are finalised. 'This is not just about roadwork; this is about creating a secure, seamless, and spiritual experience for every devotee visiting Nashik. With extended networks and strong planning, we are ensuring the Kumbh becomes a symbol of efficiency and faith," Fadnavis said. First Published:
