According to Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the 82.4 km section will be constructed using the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM). The corridor has been planned to pass through important regional towns, ensuring smoother connectivity for Mokama, Barahiya, Lakhisarai, Jamalpur, and Munger, while extending access to Bhagalpur.
Officials indicated that the corridor will not only improve intra-state transport but also support regional trade, mobility, and economic growth by linking emerging and established urban centres in Bihar.
By linking towns such as Mokama, Lakhisarai, Jamalpur, Munger, and Bhagalpur, the project aims to ease travel and commerce, ultimately supporting the state's economic prospects. Its execution under the Hybrid Annuity Mode is also expected to ensure timely delivery with a balance of public and private investment.
