Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, is also showing promising growth.
The city’s robust infrastructure, coupled with its strong educational and healthcare facilities, is attracting both investors and homebuyers.
The expansion of expressways in Lucknow is not only improving commuting but also promoting urban growth and supporting economic development.
Swapnil Anil, Managing Director, Advisory Services at Colliers India, emphasized the importance of expressway expansion in these cities.
'The expansion of expressways not only improves commuting but also promotes urban growth.
It supports economic development, encourages the creation of integrated townships and social infrastructure, and boosts tourism.
