♦ Mumbai has officially unveiled India's first-ever melody road, a special stretch that plays the iconic 'Jai Ho' tune as vehicles pass over it at designated speeds. The installation was inaugurated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on 11 February 2026, marking a unique blend of engineering innovation and cultural expression on the city's Coastal Road.  

♦ The musical stretch has been created on the northbound carriageway of the Coastal Road, between Nariman Point and Worli, immediately after vehicles emerge from the Coastal Road tunnel. Over a 500-metre section adjacent to the central divider, precisely cut grooves commonly known as rumble strips have been laid out so that tyres create sound vibrations resembling the rhythm of 'Jai Ho' when a vehicle drives over them at around 70-80 km/h.
