The Yamuna Expressway (erstwhile Taj Expressway) Project is conceived with the idea to not only reduce the travel time between New Delhi and Agra but also to open up avenue for Industrial and Urban development of the region and provide the base for convergence to tourism and other allied industries.

The Yamuna Expressway (erstwhile Taj Expressway) Project road passes through virgin land by the side of River Yamuna which is comparatively thinly populated, there being no problem of rehabilitation. Hence least disturbance will take place to the local population.
