New Delhi, India – India's ambitious Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, slated to become the nation's longest highway, is making rapid progress towards full operation. This 1,350-km mega-project, part of the Bharatmala Pariyojna, aims to cut travel time between Delhi and Mumbai by just 12 hours. While parts are already open, the entire expressway is expected to be fully operational by February 2027.
The expressway spans six states: Delhi (9 km), Haryana (129 km), Rajasthan (373 km), Madhya Pradesh (244 km), Gujarat (426 km), and Maharashtra (171 km). It begins at the DND Flyway in Delhi, passes through Sohna in Haryana, and concludes at Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) in Mumbai. Key cities, such as Jaipur, Kota, Udaipur, Indore, Vadodara, and Surat, lie along its route.
Tolls on the expressway are collected automatically every 50 km using FASTag, with rates varying by vehicle type. For instance, the Sohna-Dausa stretch costs approximately ₹500 for light vehicles and ₹1,685 for heavy vehicles, such as trucks and buses.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has frequently highlighted the project's transformative impact. As of February 2025, over 1,150 km of the expressway had been completed, with 756 km already operational. The government is actively addressing any remaining delays to ensure timely completion.
This ₹1,00,000 crore project boasts 8 lanes, expandable to 12, and a maximum speed limit of 100 km/h. It includes India's first dedicated electric lane for EV trucks and buses, along with over 94 amenities like food courts, EV charging stations, and trauma centers.
Special wildlife overpasses, solar lighting, and optic fiber networks highlight the expressway's eco-friendly and modern design. The project has also generated employment for over 50 lakh people during its construction phase.
