The maximum speed on the expressway for all vehicles will be 120 km per hour, which will help in saving fuel. The estimated savings would be around 300 million liters of fuel and 800 million kg of carbon emissions would be reduced every year.

The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will connect five states - Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. Its Rajasthan part is to be inaugurated on Sunday. Assembly elections are to be held in this Congress-ruled state this year. Some people believe that political interests are behind these projects ahead of the next year's general elections.
The approximately 1,400 km long Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will have eight lanes and will be the longest expressway in India. This road, constructed at a cost of more than one lakh crore rupees, is a miracle of engineering. Mudit Garg, project director of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), said, "As of now, our 246-km stretch is completely ready. At about 180 km, there is an interchange that goes directly to Jaipur. The Dausa section is ready. Can reach Jaipur in two and a half hours.
The expressway will have facilities like electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, helipads, trauma care centers and separate lanes for EVs. The government says that this is the first highway in Asia to have animal overpass and wildlife crossing. The maximum speed on the expressway for all vehicles will be 120 km per hour, which will help in saving fuel. The estimated savings would be around 300 million liters of fuel and 800 million kg of carbon emissions would be reduced every year.
