[15] Delhi–Mumbai Expressway connects the Sohna Elevated Corridor, Delhi to the Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Maharashtra via Dausa, Kota, Ratlam, Vadodara and Surat.
[17][18] Land for an additional four lanes is reserved in the middle of the road for future expansion, along with the space for utilities, plantation and public transport on both sides.
[20] Traffic coming from both ends and moving towards Vadodara / Mumbai will merge at the double trumpet interchange with KMP Expressway at Khalilpur village (Nuh district) of Haryana.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has formed a special-purpose vehicle (SPV) to finance the construction and operation of the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway.
The SPV has been registered on 29 August 2020 by the name of DME Development Limited (DMEDL) and it will be wholly owned by the NHAI.
[29] By floating SPV specific to a corridor, NHAI is aiming at diversifying its resource base to develop a sustainable and self-liquidating approach to raise finances.
The list of contractors is as follows: Note: As of 11 November 2021, Tender for 65 km length is pending i.e. for 4 packages in Maharashtra (Virar–JNPT section).
It will also be the first expressway in India to have helipads and fully equipped trauma centers at every 100 km for accident victims.
On 25 March 2021, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said in Lok Sabha that there is a plan to develop a stretch of this expressway as an e-highway (electric highway) where trucks and buses can run at a speed of 120 km/hour which will bring down the logistics cost by 70% as heavy vehicles will run on electricity instead of diesel.
National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has started the construction of this project, and is expected to be completed by March 2022.
