₹4,200 crore. 63 kilometres. India's first barrier-less expressway. And it caved in just three weeks after inauguration. The Kanpur–Lucknow Expressway (NE-6) was inaugurated on July 13, 2026 by Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari and Yogi Adityanath - pitched as a showpiece with no toll booths and machine-guided construction built to last. Then the first monsoon rains arrived, and parts of the brand-new road began sinking, slipping and eroding. In this video, we break down the money, the mess, and the fallout: how much every kilometre actually cost, why NHAI has moved to suspend toll collection on a road designed to collect it without you ever stopping, and the action now facing contractor PNC Infratech - including a proposal to bar it from future NHAI projects. #KanpurLucknowExpressway #PNCInfratech #NHAI #Expressway #Infrastructure #UttarPradesh #NitinGadkari #RoadsOfIndia For more videos subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NDTVProfitIndia Visit NDTV Profit for more news:
