It seems that the newly inaugurated Nagpur-Shirdi Phase I of Samrudhi Mahamarg is getting a good response from motorists. Over the last six days, around 50,000 vehicles have used the highway. A MSRDC official confirmed this development.

On December 11, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had inaugurated the first phase after which it was thrown open for traffic at 2 pm. Post opening of the highway, some motorists had complained about lack of facilities on it, including fewer number of fuel stations.
