Mumbai-Nagpur Super Communication Expressway, or Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg, which is arguably India's largest road project, will likely steal massive number of passengers traveling via flights and trains upon completion by 2022. According to DNA, a Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation's detailed project report has estimated that around 30 per cent of daily passenger traffic traveling via flights and trains may shift their travel mode to this road.

Over 26,000 people travel between Mumbai and Nagpur via flights or trains daily, out of them 8000 may shift to the road. As many as 87 more buses and 1166 more cars would expectedly run on the road because of the construction of the super communication expressway, says the report. On an average 1933 people travel between Mumbai and Nagpur via flights daily, out of them 580 would likely shift to the expressway. This will lead to the addition of 387 more cars on the road. 

It takes 90 minutes to reach Mumbai from Nagpur via plane and 16-17 hours via train. Traveling through the Expressway will likely take 8-10 hours 

The report has termed unexpected diversion of flyers to roads as "induced traffic" consisting of trips people wanted to make, but couldn't in the absence of the desired infrastructure.
