The Delhi Mumbai Expressway route will help to eliminate the Delhi-Mumbai distance from 727 to 572 kilometres.

80 lakh tons of cement will be expected to use for the mega-budget project. The Delhi Mumbai Expressway route map will create lakhs of employment opportunities for skilled technicians and ground labourers.

Unique features of the Delhi to Mumbai Expressway

E-Highway: Government is planning to stretch Delhi to Mumbai Expressway as an e-highway. In this way, trucks, and buses can run at a speed of 120 km/hour to eliminate vehicular pollution. The minimal speed and congestion-free expressway will lower the logistics expenses by up to 70%, as heavy vehicles will use electricity instead of diesel. It will also have 4 dedicated lanes for all-electric vehicles throughout the entire route of eight lanes. Besides, a high barrier of 1.5-metre will be built on both sides of the expressway road for security purposes, and inside slip lanes, the toll plaza will be set up.

Wildlife Crossings: The 8-lane expressway will be around Ranthambore National Park, Sariska Tiger Reserve, and Mukundara National Park, on stretches of 2.5 km. Mukundara National park and Matheran eco-sensitive zone are India’s first eight-lane road tunnels. This longest expressway will include the country’s first animal over bridges that are mainly designed to maintain the wildlife section unaffected by project construction.

It is the first expressway with helipads and well-equipped trauma centers every 100 kilometers for any medical emergencies.

Eco-Friendly aspects: It is an environment-friendly route. This expressway will cover around 20 lakh trees and they will be watered by the drip irrigation method. It is expected to cut about 850 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions thru tree plantations. Using a combination of solar energy and state grids will help operate roadside lights on the expressway.
