Gadkari further said that a consultant to examine transport standards in countries such as Germany, France, Sweden and the United Kingdom had been appointed for this proposal. For electric vehicles, separate lanes with electric lines will also be set up.

Gadkari was recently in talks with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to operate buses running on alternative fuels such as ethanol from sugarcane.

While there are no buses between Mumbai and Delhi, the 1,422 km long journey takes an average of 22 hours by road. Buses operated by the state governments of Gujarat and Rajasthan take 12 hours to cover Mumbai-Ahmedabad and 18 hours to cover Ahmedabad-Delhi respectively. By rail, the Mumbai Central-New Delhi Rajdhani Express takes 15 hours for the entire journey while the Mumbai Central-Hazrat Nizamuddin August Kranti Rajdhani Express takes 17 hours. In October 2016, Spanish train manufacturer Talgo managed a trial run of its train, completing the journey between Mumbai and Delhi in under 12 hours.
