Gurgaon: KMP Expressway is going to miss its April-end deadline.

The Haryana Chief Secretary will hold a meeting on Monday to assess the progress made on the project on the Expressway. However, the next deadline for the completion of Manesar-Palwal stretch will be fixed after the meeting.

The re-scheduling comes despite the private developer, KMP Expressway Ltd, recently submitting an affidavit to the state government assuring that the stretch would e ready by the end of next month.

Though the entire 135-km-long Expressway corridor will take at least another year for completion, the agreement between the developer and the HSSIDC allows the private concessionaire to levy toll on the segment that would be made operational.

The state is concerned over the delay and, therefore, we have been holding regular monitoring meetings. Even the Gurgaon deputy commissioner has been asked to keep track of the progress. Further delay in completion will derail the government's development plan along the Expressway, said an HSIIDC official. The opening of the first stretch is likely to take traffic load off the NH-8.
