Karnataka Cabinet Approves Extra ₹1,118 Crore for Road Project

The Karnataka Cabinet has approved an additional ₹1,118 crore for a 134-kilometre road project originally sanctioned in 2017. The revised project cost has now surged to ₹3,409 crore from the initial ₹2,290 crore estimate. This cost escalation is attributed to implementation changes, higher land acquisition expenses, inflation, and project delays. The funding aims to ensure the successful completion of the delayed infrastructure initiative.
