"I have offered Piyushji (railway minister Piyush Goyal), ready to offer land for bullet train between Delhi and Mumbai in three months," Gadkari said at CNBC-TV18's India Business Leader Awards (IBLA).
Gadkari said that the expressway between the two metros will be completed in 2.5 years and next week, tender will be floated for Delhi-Gurugram-Jaipur corridor.
"The ministry is giving priority for development of express highways, waterways and building innovative transport systems" said Gadkari.
