During the inspection, the Minister highlighted the importance of the new route in boosting local tourism and providing a more comfortable travel experience. With Kodaikanal being a major tourist destination, the new road is anticipated to facilitate a significant increase in tourist inflow, further contributing to the area's economy. The route is expected to improve travel conditions, especially during peak tourist seasons, when the existing roads are often crowded, causing delays and safety concerns.

The inspection also focused on ensuring that the new road development adheres to environmental standards, as the region is known for its natural beauty and ecological significance. The government is committed to balancing development with environmental conservation, making sure that the route minimizes impact on local ecosystems.

Once completed, the new Kodaikanal route is likely to bring significant economic benefits, not only by improving access to the hill station but also by providing better connectivity for local communities. This project aligns with Tamil Nadu's broader infrastructure and tourism development plans, aimed at enhancing the state's appeal to both domestic and international tourists. The new route is expected to become a key part of Tamil Nadu’s transportation network, promoting easier access to the hill station while preserving its natural charm.
