Some stretches of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway route are already in use, with over 1,100km of the route having been completed. The new expressway will reduce the distance between the cities by around 180km and will cut journey times by an estimated 50%, from 24 hours to just 12 hours. The expressway will feature four lanes in either direction although some stretches will have more lanes as required. The expressway runs from the elevated highway on the southern side of Delhi and passes through the states of Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra. The route is being managed and maintained by National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
