Kota-Jhalawar NH-52 four-lane Mukundra Bypass moves closer to construction

The government wants to make a busy road in Rajasthan, India, safer and easier to drive on.

The road is part of National Highway 52, which connects the towns of Kota and Jhalawar.

Near a place called Mukundra, the road is getting a new four-lane bypass, which is like an extra wider road to go around traffic.

Building this bypass will cost about ₹376.85 crore, which is a very large amount of money.

The government has asked companies to send in their offers, or bids, to do the construction work.

Before building can start, the government also needs to get the land, and it started that process in July 2025.

Once a company is chosen, it will have two years to build the road.

After the road is built, the company will take care of it for another five years.

This new road should help trucks and cars travel more smoothly between Kota and Jhalawar.
