The route will be also beneficial for business travellers as it will connect economic centres as Ambala, Chandigarh, Mohali, Patiala, Ludhiana, Kapurthala, Jammu and many others. The Expressway will reduce the distance between Delhi to Amritsar/Katra by approx 40 km and offer travellers to travel from Delhi to Amritsar within 4 to 4½ hours and Delhi to Katra within 6 to 6½ hours, as per Sources.
The Development will appear as good news for pilgrims of Mata Vaishno Devi and Golden Temple as well.
