Ganga Expressway: India's First Night-Landing Expressway for Military Aircraft
DEFENSE
The Ganga Expressway, stretching nearly 600 kilometers between Meerut and Prayagraj, is India's first expressway designed for night landings of military aircraft. Developed with strategic defense capabilities, it has successfully conducted trials with various Air Force jets, including Rafale and Mirage 2000. This infrastructure enhancement in Uttar Pradesh aims to bolster the region's defense capabilities, complementing existing expressways that only permit daytime landings.
