The Shark Tank India Judge Anupam Mittal recently shared his experience of visiting Rajasthan in a social media post on X (formerly Twitter). He expressed being "blown away" by the state's excellent road quality and outstanding connectivity. Mittal compared the condition of Rajasthan's roads to those in Mumbai, which made him question why Mumbai does not yet offer similar facilities.
Founder and CEO of People Group and Shaadi.com wrote on X, “On a road trip in Rajasthan, my ancestral home. Blown away by the quality of the roads and connectivity. Mumbai waalon ne kya paap kiya?"
Many X users concurred with Mittal's observations, noting that several states enjoy superior road quality and connectivity compared to Mumbai, which is known as the country's financial capital.
“Rajasthan, Gujarat, Telangana, AP, Tamil Nadu, MP - all have impressive roads. You can noticeably tell the difference without a board also that you have crossed MH border,” wrote one of the users.
Another X user added: “Based on the people’s sentiment on social media, it seems that Mumbai has gone backward in last few years. Even, @vivekagnihotri also posted a video last weeks, highlighting the poor quality of roads in Maharashtra. What went wrong over the past few years? Could it be due to frequent political shifts and politicians changing parties like hell? #Maharashtra is India business hub and a major tourist place, it should be advancing, not falling behind.”
“Maharashtra is actively planning to enhance its road connectivity with world-class infrastructure in the coming years. The state government has announced several ambitious projects, including the construction of new expressways, highways, and improved road networks, aimed at boosting economic growth and improving regional connectivity. Key initiatives like the Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway (Samruddhi Mahamarg) and the Mumbai-Pune Hyperloop project reflect Maharashtra's commitment to developing state-of-the-art road infrastructure that meets global standards,” added a third user.
