'''Expressways''' are the highest class of roads in '''India'''. As of July 2023, India has a total length of {{convert|4,901|km|mi|abbr=on}} of expressways. These are [[controlled-access highway]]s where entrance and exits are controlled by the use of [[Cloverleaf interchange|cloverleaf]] or [[Interchange (road)#Trumpet interchange|trumpet]] or [[Grade separation|grade separated]] interchanges that are incorporated into the [[Controlled-access highway#Design|design of the expressway]] and designed for maximum speed of 120 km/h, whereas [[National highways of India|National highways]] are [[Overpass|flyover access]] or [[Toll road|tolled]], where entrance and exit is through the side of the flyover, at each intersection of highway with road, flyovers are provided to bypass the city/town/village traffic and these highways are designed for speed of 100 km/h. Some roads are not access-controlled expressways, but are still named as expressways, such as the [[Biju Expressway]], these are actually [[State highways in India|state highways]] which are not declared by central government as an Expressway, hence not an Expressway or National Highway.

[[Mumbai–Pune Expressway]] is the first 6-lane operational expressway in India started in 2002. Expressways follow standards set by [[Indian Roads Congress]] and [[Bureau of Indian Standards]].

Currently, the longest expressway in India is the partially-opened [[Mumbai–Nagpur Expressway|Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway]] (Phase-II) at {{convert|600|km|mi|abbr=on}}, which was opened in 2022 and (Phase-II) was inaugurated in May 2023,<ref>{{Cite web |date=26 May 2023 |title=Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway: CM Shinde, Dy CM Fadnavis Launch Phase-2 of Samruddhi Mahamarg |url=https://www.timesnownews.com/mumbai/mumbai-nagpur-expressway-launch-phase-2-of-samruddhi-mahamarg-opens-article-100530454}}</ref> and the widest expressway is the Delhi – Dasna (UP border) section of the [[Delhi–Meerut Expressway]] with 14 lanes, which was opened in 2021.

Greenfield Expressways in India are designed as 12-[[lane]] wide Expressways with the initial construction of 8 lanes with maximum speed set as 120&nbsp;km/h for all type of vehicles. Land for 4-lane future expansion is reserved in the center of the expressways. Greenfield Expressways are designed to avoid inhabited areas and go through new alignments to bring development to new areas and to reduce land acquisition costs and construction timelines. The [[Delhi–Mumbai Expressway]] is an example of a new 12-lane approach with initial 8-lane construction.

''Brownfield National Highway Project'' is the widening/re-development of existing National Highways. The upgradation of highway is a Brownfield Expressway Project which has high traffic demand and is a part of both rural and urban setup. The upgradation is carried from 4 Lane to 6 Lane on EPC mode.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Brownfield National Highway Project |url=https://portfolio.cept.ac.in/ft/construction-project-formulation-appraisal-cm4002-monsoon-2020-4670/brownfield-national-highway-project-monsoon-2020-pcm20400 |access-date=2 August 2022 |website=CEPT}}</ref> 43,000&nbsp;km [[State highways in India|state highways]] have been converted to National Highways in last 8 years.<ref>{{Cite web |title=43,000 km state roads converted to national highways in last eight years |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/apr/02/43000-km-state-roads-converted-to-national-highways-in-last-eight-years-2437007.html |access-date=2 April 2022 |website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>

The majority of the investment required for constructing expressways comes from the [[Government of India|central government]]. [[Uttar Pradesh]] and [[Maharashtra]] are the only states which are investing in building expressways through dedicated expressway corporations.<ref>{{Cite news |date=7 May 2019 |title=Maharashtra, UP to drive state-led capex in road sector in next 3 yrs – Times of India |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/maharashtra-up-to-drive-state-led-capex-in-road-sector-in-next-3-yrs/articleshow/69219363.cms |access-date=1 June 2019}}</ref>

== State expressways ==

State Expressways are funded by State/Central Government to connect areas within the state. These expressways reduce travel time, allowing for more more efficient travel and fuel savings. This also allows for a more equal distribution of goods, especially to [[Rural industry in India|rural areas]]. These expressways are not part of National Expressways but may be operated by state authority or national authority.
