'''Nagpur-Hyderabad-Bengaluru Expressway''', also known as '''Nagpur–Bengaluru Expressway''', is a proposed {{cvt|1100|km}} long, six-lane, [[Greenfield project|greenfield]] [[Controlled-access highway|access-controlled expressway]], which will connect the third largest city of [[Maharashtra]], [[Nagpur]] with the capital of [[Karnataka]], [[Bangalore|Bengaluru]], through the capital of [[Telangana]] and [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[Hyderabad]].[[Maharashtra]], [[Hyderabad]]. It will pass through four states–Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. It will reduce both travel time and distance, from the current 24 hours to only 12 hours, and from around {{cvt|1200|km}} to {{cvt|1100|km}}. It will have two sections–one from Nagpur to Hyderabad and another from Hyderabad to Bengaluru. It will be operated and maintained by the [[National Highways Authority of India]] (NHAI).<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/now-drive-from-nagpur-to-bengaluru-in-just-12-hrs/articleshow/60249720.cms|title=Now, drive from Nagpur to Bengaluru in just 12 hrs|last=Anparthi|first=Anjaya|date=28 August 2017|work=Times of India|access-date=31 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180531131729/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/now-drive-from-nagpur-to-bengaluru-in-just-12-hrs/articleshow/60249720.cms|archive-date=31 May 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> The project will be built at a cost of ₹ 35,000 crore (US$ 4.2 billion),<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/logistics/feedback-infra-pitches-for-a-big-role-in-designing-greenfield-expressways/article10010165.ece|title=Feedback Infra pitches for a big role in designing greenfield expressways|last=Ramakrishnan|first=N|date=3 January 2018|work=Business Line|access-date=31 May 2018|archive-url=https://archive.today/20180531131809/https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/logistics/feedback-infra-pitches-for-a-big-role-in-designing-greenfield-expressways/article10010165.ece|archive-date=31 May 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> and is expected to be completed before 2030.

==History==
Due to growing traffic and pressure on [[National Highway 44 (India)|National Highway 44 (North-South Corridor)]] (NH-44), which runs from [[Uri, Jammu and Kashmir|Uri]] in [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]] to [[Kanyakumari]] in [[Tamil Nadu]], the highway will not be able to cope with the future traffic and vehicular load, despite four-laning along most of the entire route, especially the stretch from [[Nagpur]] to [[Bengaluru]], due to the cities' growing population. So, the [[Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (India)| Ministry of Road Transport and Highways]] (MoRTH) planned to build an expressway between those two cities through [[Hyderabad]], in 2017.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/now-drive-from-nagpur-to-bengaluru-in-just-12-hrs/articleshow/60249720.cms|title=Now, drive from Nagpur to Bengaluru in just 12 hrs|last=Anparthi|first=Anjaya|date=28 August 2017|work=Times of India|access-date=31 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180531131729/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/now-drive-from-nagpur-to-bengaluru-in-just-12-hrs/articleshow/60249720.cms|archive-date=31 May 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> It will become an alternative to NH-44, and will decongest traffic and reduce the growing pressure on it. It will help to reduce both travel time
considerably, from around 23-24 hours to only 11-12 hours, and from approx. 1,200 km to 1,100 km. The expressway will have six lanes, which in the future, could be expanded to more number of lanes, by keeping space in between the lanes. In May 2018, a private firm was selected for preparing the [[Project plan|Detailed Project Report]] (DPR), and still continues to be underway.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/logistics/feedback-infra-pitches-for-a-big-role-in-designing-greenfield-expressways/article10010165.ece|title=Feedback Infra pitches for a big role in designing greenfield expressways|last=Ramakrishnan|first=N|date=3 January 2018|work=Business Line|access-date=31 May 2018|archive-url=https://archive.today/20180531131809/https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/logistics/feedback-infra-pitches-for-a-big-role-in-designing-greenfield-expressways/article10010165.ece|archive-date=31 May 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> The expressway, initially, was expected to be completed after 2025, by building it at a cost of ₹ 35,000 crore (US$ 4.2 billion). However, due to delays in implementation and preparations for pre-construction and construction works, the expressway has currently no scheduled deadline, as of 2023, but it is assumed to be completed by at least before 2030.
