The '''expressways of India''' are [[controlled-access highway|access-controlled]] [[toll road|toll highway]]s featuring [[Dual carriageway|divided carriageways]], engineered to support high-speed vehicular movement and to accommodate heavy loads. They constitute the highest class of road infrastructure in the Indian road network.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wayback Machine |url=https://tis.nhai.gov.in/UploadGazatte/gazatte_notification.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250308011759/https://tis.nhai.gov.in/UploadGazatte/gazatte_notification.pdf |archive-date=2025-03-08 |access-date=2025-06-26 |website=tis.nhai.gov.in}}</ref> As of December 2024, the total length of expressways in India was {{convert|6,059|km|mi|abbr=on}}, with {{convert|11,127.69|km|mi|abbr=on}} under construction.

A central reservation or median separates the traffic moving in opposite directions on expressways. Entry and exits are permitted only through [[Grade separation|grade separated]] [[Interchange (road)|interchanges]]. In contrast, [[National highways of India|National highways]] may or may not have a [[Dual carriageway|median]] and may lack full access-control.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wayback Machine |url=https://www.indiacode.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/1651/1/AAA1956____48.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231106083431/https://www.indiacode.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/1651/1/AAA1956____48.pdf |archive-date=2023-11-06 |access-date=2025-06-26 |website=www.indiacode.nic.in}}</ref> Additionally, some highways constructed by State Governments, which may be fully or [[Limited-access road|partially]] [[controlled-access highway|access-controlled]], are designated or named as expressways by the respective State authorities.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wayback Machine |url=https://nhai.gov.in/assets/pdf/highway%20rating%20notice-with%20Attachements.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250524191105/https://nhai.gov.in/assets/pdf/highway%20rating%20notice-with%20Attachements.pdf |archive-date=2025-05-24 |access-date=2025-06-26 |website=nhai.gov.in}}</ref>

Fully opened in April 2002, [[Mumbaiā€“Pune Expressway]] was India's first six-lane, access-controlled, inter-city tolled expressway. Spanning {{cvt|94.5|km}} between [[Mumbai]] and [[Pune]], within the state of [[Maharashtra]], it set the benchmark for future expressway development in the country. Since then, expressway construction has significantly accelerated, particularly under the ''[[Bharatmala]]'' project and other infrastructure programmes both national and regional.<ref name="mumbai_pune_expwy">{{Cite web |last=Shekhawat |first=Aditya |date=2025-01-22 |title=Mumbai-Pune Expressway: History, Structure, Missing Link And More ā€“ My India |url=https://www.mapsofindia.com/my-india/automobiles/mumbai-pune-expressway-history-structure-missing-link-and-more |access-date=2025-06-26 |language=en-US}}</ref>

== History ==
=== Pre-independence ===
[[File:Original GT Road between Margalla and kala Chitta.JPG|thumb|left|Preserved segment of the [[Grand Trunk Road]] between [[Margalla Hills|Margalla]] and [[Kala Chitta Range|Kala Chitta]] in modern-day [[Pakistan]].]]
While major roads in the [[Indian subcontinent]] existed as early as 29th Century BCE in the [[Indus Valley civilization|Indus Valley]], the {{cvt|3,655|km}} long [[Grand Trunk Road]] built by the [[Maurya Empire|Mauryans]] during 4th century BCE and later maintained by others, is one of the earliest examples of highest class road infrastructure in India.<ref name="theatlantic.com">{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1999/11/indias-grand-trunk-road/377875/ |title=The Atlantic: "India's Grand Trunk Road" |work=The Atlantic |date=November 1999 |access-date=7 March 2017 |archive-date=7 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200907054858/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1999/11/indias-grand-trunk-road/377875/ |url-status=live |last1=Tayler |first1=Jeffrey }}</ref> In 1934, [[Indian Roads Congress]] (IRC) was formed to overlook development and research of roads in India and envisioned to achieve a road density of 16&nbsp;km per 100&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> of land pre-independence.<ref name="Hir">{{cite web|last1=Jagarlamudi|first1=Vishnu|title=History of Road Development in India|url=https://www.scribd.com/document/285233145/History-of-Road-Development-in-India|via=Scribd|access-date=5 May 2018|archive-date=9 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210309035410/https://www.scribd.com/document/285233145/History-of-Road-Development-in-India|url-status=live}}</ref> It was not until in 1995 when [[National Highways Authority of India]] (NHAI) was established as an autonomous body to develop, maintain and manage India's road network through National Highways. NHAI would later build and operate various expressways in the country.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Roadways in India - Road Industry, Network, Projects & FDI|url=https://www.investindia.gov.in/sector/roads-highways|access-date=2021-09-07|website=www.investindia.gov.in|language=en|archive-date=21 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210921021152/https://www.investindia.gov.in/sector/roads-highways|url-status=live}}</ref>


'''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&nbsp;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&nbsp;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.
=== Early expressways ===
[[Mumbaiā€“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]].
[[File:Express highway.jpg|thumb|[[Mumbaiā€“Pune Expressway]], India's first 6-lane expressway]]


Currently, the longest expressway in India is the partially-opened [[Mumbaiā€“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 ā€“ Dasna (UP border) section of the [[Delhiā€“Meerut Expressway]] with 14 lanes, which was opened in 2021.
In 1990, [[Government of Maharashtra]] appointed [[Rail India Technical and Economic Service|RITES]] to conduct a feasibility study for toll-based expressway between [[Mumbai]] and [[Pune]], marking it as the first such initiative to construct an expressway in India. Four years later, RITES submitted its report and the project was estimated to cost {{INRConvert|1146|c|year=1994}}. In March 1997, [[Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation]] (MSRDC) undertook the construction of the expressway on a [[Buildā€“operateā€“transfer]] (BOT) model that allowed the state government to collect tolls for 30 years. At the end of the same year, after allā€‚environmental and forest clearances, the construction on the {{cvt|94.5|km}} corridor commenced with first sections opening in 2000. In April 2002, India's first expressway was flagged to be fully operational, with an estimated construction costā€‚of {{INRConvert|1630|c|year=2002}}, which paved the way for more such expressways across the country.<ref name="mumbai_pune_expwy"/>


== Development ==
[[File:Delhi Noida Direct flyway (Uttar Pradesh - 2011-06-18).jpg|thumb|Delhiā€“Noida Direct ([[DND Flyway]]), India's first 8-lane expressway]]
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 [[Delhiā€“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>
On 24 January 2001, the eight-lane {{cvt|7.5|km}} long [[DND Flyway]] between [[Delhi]] and [[Noida]] was operationalised, becoming the first urban expressway in India.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/noida-jinx-to-keep-akhilesh-yadav-away-from-pm-event/articleshow/50372875.cms| title='Noida jinx' to keep Akhilesh Yadav away from PM event |work=The Economic Times |date=29 December 2015 }}</ref> Following Mumbai-Pune, [[Ahmedabadā€“Vadodara Expressway]] was then opened between the cities of [[Ahmedabad]] and [[Vadodara]] in [[Gujarat]] on 16 August 2004. While this expressway was operationalised two years later, it was designated as National Expressway 1 (NE-1) back in 1986 by the [[Government of India]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wayback Machine |url=http://egazette.nic.in/WriteReadData/1986/E-0770-1986-0080-33904.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230202154856/http://egazette.nic.in/WriteReadData/1986/E-0770-1986-0080-33904.pdf |archive-date=2023-02-02 |access-date=2025-06-26 |website=egazette.nic.in}}</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 ā€“ 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>
In 2009, with the advent of new expressway infrastructures coming up across India, the [[Ministry of Road Transport and Highways]] (MoRTH) was preparing to set-up National Expressways Authority of India (NEAI) to be in-charge of the construction and maintenance of expressways, however, the Ministry did not proceed with the creation of NEAI for unspecified reasons and NHAI continued to remain in-charge.<ref name="toi_nov2009">{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/5259102.cms|title=By 2022, govt to lay 18,637km of expressways|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|first=Dipak Kumar|last=Dash|date=23 November 2009|access-date=10 January 2020|archive-date=26 November 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091126042422/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/5259102.cms|url-status=live}}</ref>

The ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) had also been finalising new guidelines to improve and standardise infrastructure along the already-developed highways with wayside amenities. Satellite-based tolling was also proposed to be started on 10-15 stretches in the same year.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Narayan |first=Subhash |date=2024-01-05 |title=Govtā€™s Vision ā€˜47 set to target 50,000km of expressways |url=https://www.livemint.com/news/india/govts-vision-47-set-to-target-50-000km-of-expressways-11704477426174.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240530051021/https://www.livemint.com/news/india/govts-vision-47-set-to-target-50-000km-of-expressways-11704477426174.html |archive-date=2024-05-30 |access-date=2025-06-27 |work=mint |language=en}}</ref>

== Expressways summary by state ==
== Designation ==
List of operational expressways by state, as of March 2023:
=== Expressway categories ===
{| class="wikitable sortable"
Expressways in India are designated into three main categories:
!States
* '''National Expressways (NE)''': Managed by NHAI under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), these are the medium to long-distance expressways which connect the major cities of India. [[Delhiā€“Mumbai Expressway]], designated as National Expressway-4 (NE-4) is one such example of a National Expressway.
! data-sort-type="number" |Length (km/mi)
* '''Economic Corridors (EC)''': Also managed by NHAI under MoRTH, these expressways are being built across various [[Industrial corridor]]s of India. [[Amritsarā€“Jamnagar Expressway]], designated as Economic Corridor-3 (EC-3) is an example of Industrial expressway.
!Number of Expressways
* '''State Expressways (SE)''': These are the regional expressways undertaken by respective state governments to connect the cities within a state. [[Mumbaiā€“Nagpur Expressway]] undertaken by [[Government of Maharashtra|Maharashtra state-government's]] [[Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation|MSRDC]] is an example for regional expressway undertaken by the Maharashtra state government.
|-
* '''Urban expressways''': Additionally some urban governments and municipalities have also constructed expressways within or near urban areas to facilitate decongestion and faster movement within cities. [[DND Flyway]] between Delhi and Noida is an example for toll-free urban expressway.
|[[Uttar Pradesh]]
* '''Bypass expressways''': [[Bypass (road)|Bypass]] expressways are constructed to divert the through-traffic, away from urban areas and city centres. They reduce urban pollution and improve travel speed. [[Chennai Bypass Road]] is an example that is built to bypass [[Chennai]].
|{{convert|1396|km|mi|abbr=on}}
* '''Spur expressways''': [[Spur route|Spur]] expressways in India are short corridors that branch off from a main expressway to connect important cities, towns, industrial zones or border areas, thus enhancing the regional connectivity. The {{cvt|41|km}} long [[Nakodar]]ā€“[[Amritsar]] spur section which branches off from the [[Delhiā€“Amritsarā€“Katra Expressway|Delhiā€“Katra Expressway]] is an example.

=== Greenfield and Brownfield expressways===
|[[Maharashtra]]
Greenfield Expressways in India are new expressways that are built on new alignments to facilitate economy of the areas they pass through. These newly built expressways allow for speeds up to {{cvt|120|km/h}} and typically have space reserved between the carriages to allow for a future expansion. Delhiā€“Mumbai Expressway is an example which is being built with eight-lanes and a reserved space in the median to allow for future expansion of up to twelve lanes.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nod to elevated corridor on Greenfield Expressway, budget likely to rise by 48% |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/haryana/nod-to-elevated-corridor-on-greenfield-expressway-budget-likely-to-rise-by-48/ |access-date=2025-06-27 |website=The Tribune |language=en}}</ref> While Brownfield Expressways in India backed by 'Brownfield National Highway Project' (BNHP) are a series of projects undertaken to widen/re-develop existing national highways that have high traffic demand. The upgradation usually involves expansion of lanes from four to six, such as [[National Highway 709A (India)|NH-709A]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Brownfield National Highway Project {{!}} CEPT - Portfolio |url=https://portfolio.cept.ac.in/ft/construction-project-formulation-appraisal-cm4002-monsoon-2020-4670/brownfield-national-highway-project-monsoon-2020-pcm20400 |access-date=2025-06-27 |website=portfolio.cept.ac.in}}</ref>

[[Controlled-access highway|Access-control]] on Indian expressways offers uninterrupted high-speed travel and safety. It is mainly achieved through fencing, [[Grade separation]] with over-passes and under-passes, barriers or medians and with additional dedicated [[Frontage road|service roads]] for local traffic. Fully access-controlled expressways do not allow access from side roads, villages or properties but only via [[Interchange (road)|inter-changes]]. [[Limited-access road|Partially access-controlled]] expressways allow access at some at-grade junctions and minor road crossings may exist. Non access-controlled roads are conventional highways that have a mix of local and through traffic without any entry restrictions.
|-

|[[List of highways in Haryana#Expressway|Haryana]]
=== Carriageways ===
|{{convert|609|km|mi|abbr=on}}
All Indian expressways have [[dual carriageway]]s, one for each direction, separated by a [[median strip|
|7
median]]. Each carriageway typically has at least two lanes, with three to four lanes also being common. Most Greenfield expressways have a reserved space between the carriages for future expansion in number of lanes. Some expressways utilise concrete or metal beam [[Traffic barrier|crash barriers]] for safety. [[Shoulder (road)|Paved shoulders]] or emergency lanes also exist beside each carriageway to support during the event of accident. Service lanes on each direction are often provided outside the fenced area for local traffic.
|-
Ā 
|[[Chhattisgarh]]
The [[Indian Roads Congress]] (IRC) has specified guidelines for designing access-controlled highways with its IRC:SP:99-2013 standard. It specifies a standard lane width of {{cvt|3.5|m}} with paved shoulders having a width of {{cvt|2-2.5|m}} and unpaved shoulders having {{cvt|1|m}} width.<ref name="IRC-SP-99">{{Cite book |last=Indian Roads Congress |url=http://archive.org/details/govlawircy2013sp99 |title=IRC SP 099: Manual of Specification and Standards for Expressways |date=2013 |others=Public.Resource.Org |language=English}}</ref>

Inter-changes are junctions that connect expressway with other roads, highways or other expressways without interrupting the flow of traffic. They improve safety by eliminating [[Side collision|right-angle collisions]]. Indian expressways have various interchanges designed for suitability. [[Interchange (road)#System interchanges|System interchanges]]ā€”such as [[Cloverleaf interchange|cloverleaf]], [[Interchange (road)#Three-legged interchanges|three-way]], [[Interchange (road)#Trumpet interchange|trumpet]] connect with other national or state highways.

== Total Operational Expressways By Type ==
The design of inter-changes for Indian expressways and highways are governed by IRC:SP:99-2013 and Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) guidelines. While Cloverleaf interchanges require at least 20-30 acres of land, directional flyovers require less. The inter-change designs include acceleration/deceleration lanes for safe merging.<ref name="IRC-SP-99"/>

High-speed travel is a key feature on Indian expressways unlike conventional highways where speeds are low due to local traffic and cattle interruptions. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has set speed limits based on road geometry and vehicle type. Some Greenfield expressways are designed for speeds up to {{cvt|150|km/h}} but are legally capped at {{cvt|120|km/h}} for safety, with some expressways capped as low as {{cvt|100|km/h}}. For heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks, it is usually capped at {{cvt|80-100|km}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tyre Speed Rating vs Legal Speed Limit in India |url=https://www.vredestein.co.in/content-hub/blogs/tyre-speed-rating-vs-legal-speed-limit-india/ |access-date=2025-06-27 |website=Vredestein Tyres |language=en}}</ref> The minimum designed speed on ramps on inter-changes per IRC is {{cvt|40-60|km}}.<ref name="IRC-SP-99"/>

Ā 
Expressways in India excluding some urban ones are [[Road pricing|tolled]]. They are implemented to recover cost of construction, maintenance and operations, and are primarily managed by NHAI under MoRTH. The tolls are levied based on vehicle category, type of expressway and distance travelled. They form a great source of revenue for funding the expanding expressway network in India.

== State expressways ==
FASTag is an [[Electronic toll collection]] (ETC) system operated in India by NHAI under MoRTH. It uses [[Radio-frequency identification]] (RFID) technology to enable automatic deduction of toll charges at toll plazas on Indian expressways, allowing for vehicles to pass without stopping for toll transactions.<ref name="faq">{{cite web| url=https://www.npci.org.in/what-we-do/netc-fastag/faqs| title=FAQs on NETC FASTag| access-date=27 December 2021| archive-date=27 December 2021| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211227020104/https://www.npci.org.in/what-we-do/netc-fastag/faqs| url-status=live}}</ref>
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.


'''Note:''' ''AC = [[Controlled-access highway|Access-Controlled]] Expressway.'' ''GS = [[Grade separation|Grade Separated]] Expressway.''
The FASTag system is based on the National Electronic Toll Collection (NTEC) programme developed by the [[National Payments Corporation of India]] (NPCI) as a part of India's efforts to digitise highway infrastructure and reduce congestion on toll plazas. It was launched in 2014 as a pilot project on the Ahmedabadā€“Mumbai section of [[Golden Quadrilateral]] highway. From 15 February 2021, fastag became mandatory for all four-wheeled vehicles on national highways.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-01-01 |title=FASTags mandatory for all 4 wheelers from today; hybrid lanes to accept cash till February 15 - BusinessToday |url=https://www.businesstoday.in/latest/economy-politics/story/fastags-mandatory-for-all-4-wheelers-from-today-hybrid-lanes-to-accept-cash-till-february-15-283260-2021-01-01 |access-date=2025-06-28 |website=Business Today |language=en}}</ref>


For example Odisha State Government has built two expressways in Odisha.
=== Wayside amenities ===
Offered by NHAI under MoRTH, Wayside Amenities (WSAs) are dedicated rest and service facilities located along Indian expressways and other national highways to improve road travel comfort, safety, and logistics. They offer rest, food, fuel, charging stations and similar services to both passengers and freight vehicles. The help in reducing driver fatigue, supporting logistics movement and in promoting highway tourism. They are typically located at intervals of {{cvt|40-50|km}} along expressways. In June 2025, NHAI announced an ambitious plan of establishing over 1000 WSAs over a period of five years under [[Publicā€“private partnership]]. The WSAs in the plan include setting up of fuel stations and [[Charging station|EV charging points]], food courts, [[dhaba]]s and restaurants, convenience stores, medical and childcare rooms, promotional spaces for local artisans,Ā  drone landing facilities and helipads at larger sites.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NHAIā€™s Innovative Strategy to Attract Global Expertise for World-Class Highway Amenities |url=https://parkplus.io/car-news/nhais-innovative-strategy-to-attract-global-expertise-for-world-class-highway-amenities |access-date=2025-06-28 |website=Park+ |language=en}}</ref>

== Financing ==
The financing of Indian expressways is achieved through a combination of [[Government spending|public funding]], private investment, multilateral lending and via tolls. [[Ministry of Road Transport and Highways]] (MoRTH) sets policy and budget allocations while [[National Highways Authority of India]] (NHAI) is responsible for implementation and collection of tolls. The private sector entities participate through various [[Publicā€“private partnership]] models. A significant amount of funding for expressways comes from central government allocations, especially under [[Bharatmala|''Bharatmala Pariyojana'']]. In the 2023-24 [[Union budget of India]], MoRTH was allocated {{INRConvert|270000|c}}, of which a large share was dedicated for expressways and economic corridor developments.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Chandra |first=Jagriti |date=2024-02-01 |title=Budget 2024 {{!}} Road sector budget sees a nominal hike of 2.7% |url=https://www.thehindu.com/business/budget/fm-marginally-increases-allocation-to-nhai-to-rs-168-lakh-crore-for-fy25/article67800142.ece |access-date=2025-06-28 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> In 2024ā€“25, NHAI earned over {{INRConvert|41000|c}} in toll revenue, with projections of {{INRConvert|130000|c}} by 2030 through FASTag and monetisation of roads.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Sharma |first=Yogima Seth |date=2025-04-04 |title=Toll mopup rises 12.5% in FY25 to an all-time high |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/infrastructure/toll-mopup-rises-12-5-in-fy25-to-an-all-time-high/articleshow/119954601.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2025-06-28 |work=The Economic Times |issn=0013-0389}}</ref>

== Bypass Expressways ==
Ā 
Bypass Expressways to bypass city traffic such as [[ring road]]s, [[Bypass (road)|bypass]], freeways and elevated roads exist entirely within a city or between two cities. These expressways direct heavy traffic to the outskirts freeing city roads of traffic. This also allows outside traffic to directly pass the city instead of going through it further limiting traffic within a city.

For Highways of India, see National highways of India.

Template:Infobox highway system

The expressways of India are access-controlled toll highways featuring divided carriageways, engineered to support high-speed vehicular movement and to accommodate heavy loads. They constitute the highest class of road infrastructure in the Indian road network.[1] As of December 2024, the total length of expressways in India was 6,059 km (3,765 mi), with 11,127.69 km (6,914.43 mi) under construction.

A central reservation or median separates the traffic moving in opposite directions on expressways. Entry and exits are permitted only through grade separated interchanges. In contrast, National highways may or may not have a median and may lack full access-control.[2] Additionally, some highways constructed by State Governments, which may be fully or partially access-controlled, are designated or named as expressways by the respective State authorities.[3]

Fully opened in April 2002, Mumbaiā€“Pune Expressway was India's first six-lane, access-controlled, inter-city tolled expressway. Spanning 94.5 km (58.7 mi) between Mumbai and Pune, within the state of Maharashtra, it set the benchmark for future expressway development in the country. Since then, expressway construction has significantly accelerated, particularly under the Bharatmala project and other infrastructure programmes both national and regional.[4]

As of 2024, the longest expressway in India is the partially-opened Delhiā€“Mumbai Expressway (Phase-3), spanning 1,015 km (631 mi), which was inaugurated on 18 December 2024.[5] The widest expressway is the Delhiā€“Gurgaon section of the Dwarka Expressway, featuring 16 lanes, which was also opened in 2024.

History[edit | edit source]

Pre-independence[edit | edit source]

Preserved segment of the Grand Trunk Road between Margalla and Kala Chitta in modern-day Pakistan.

While major roads in the Indian subcontinent existed as early as 29th Century BCE in the Indus Valley, the 3,655 km (2,271 mi) long Grand Trunk Road built by the Mauryans during 4th century BCE and later maintained by others, is one of the earliest examples of highest class road infrastructure in India.[6] In 1934, Indian Roads Congress (IRC) was formed to overlook development and research of roads in India and envisioned to achieve a road density of 16 km per 100 km2 of land pre-independence.[7] It was not until in 1995 when National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) was established as an autonomous body to develop, maintain and manage India's road network through National Highways. NHAI would later build and operate various expressways in the country.[8]

Early expressways[edit | edit source]

Mumbaiā€“Pune Expressway, India's first 6-lane expressway

In 1990, Government of Maharashtra appointed RITES to conduct a feasibility study for toll-based expressway between Mumbai and Pune, marking it as the first such initiative to construct an expressway in India. Four years later, RITES submitted its report and the project was estimated to cost ā‚¹1,146 crore (equivalent to ā‚¹61 billion or US$850 million in 2019). In March 1997, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) undertook the construction of the expressway on a Buildā€“operateā€“transfer (BOT) model that allowed the state government to collect tolls for 30 years. At the end of the same year, after allā€‚environmental and forest clearances, the construction on the 94.5 km (58.7 mi) corridor commenced with first sections opening in 2000. In April 2002, India's first expressway was flagged to be fully operational, with an estimated construction costā€‚of ā‚¹1,630 crore (equivalent to ā‚¹50 billion or US$700 million in 2019), which paved the way for more such expressways across the country.[4]

Delhiā€“Noida Direct (DND Flyway), India's first 8-lane expressway

On 24 January 2001, the eight-lane 7.5 km (4.7 mi) long DND Flyway between Delhi and Noida was operationalised, becoming the first urban expressway in India.[9] Following Mumbai-Pune, Ahmedabadā€“Vadodara Expressway was then opened between the cities of Ahmedabad and Vadodara in Gujarat on 16 August 2004. While this expressway was operationalised two years later, it was designated as National Expressway 1 (NE-1) back in 1986 by the Government of India.[10]

In 2009, with the advent of new expressway infrastructures coming up across India, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) was preparing to set-up National Expressways Authority of India (NEAI) to be in-charge of the construction and maintenance of expressways, however, the Ministry did not proceed with the creation of NEAI for unspecified reasons and NHAI continued to remain in-charge.[11]

Bharatmala pariyojana[edit | edit source]

Prior to being subsumed under Bharatmala Pariyojana (lit. 'India garland project'), the government of India had launched National Highways Development Project (NHDP) in 1998 as a seven-step flagship project to construct highest class roads in India and to upgrade the existing ones. The phase-4 of which included the development of 1,000 km (620 mi) of expressways at an indicative cost of ā‚¹15,000 crore (equivalent to ā‚¹540 billion or US$7.6 billion in 2019).[12] In 2017, under Bharatmala about 1,900 km (1,200 mi) km of corridors had been identified for development of new expressways, of which 800 km (500 mi) were taken up under phase-1 of the project.[13]

In the 2010s, the states of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh took keen interest in investing in expressways through dedicated expressway corporations of MSRDC and UPEIDA respectively.[14] While Maharashtra led by MSRDC completed its second expressway with 701 km (436 mi) long Mumbaiā€“Nagpur Expressway in June 2025, Uttar Pradesh had built four new expressways namely; Bundelkhand, Purvanchal, Agraā€“Lucknow and Yamuna expressways by the turn of early 2020s.[15] On 21 May 2015, in a first for military aviation and expressway infrastructure in India, the Indian Air Force's Dassault Mirage 2000 successfully landed on the Yamuna Expressway near Mathura in a mock-drill to evaluate the utility of using highways and expressways for emergency landings by military aircraft.[16]

In 2024, the government of India presented an ambitious 'Vision 2047' plan envisioning the construction of up to 50,000 km (31,000 mi) of access-controlled highways and expressways, with Indians gaining access to the expressways at a distance of 100ā€“125 km (62ā€“78 mi) from any point in the country. The ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) had also been finalising new guidelines to improve and standardise infrastructure along the already-developed highways with wayside amenities. Satellite-based tolling was also proposed to be started on 10-15 stretches in the same year.[17]

Designation[edit | edit source]

Expressway categories[edit | edit source]

Expressways in India are designated into three main categories:

  • National Expressways (NE): Managed by NHAI under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), these are the medium to long-distance expressways which connect the major cities of India. Delhiā€“Mumbai Expressway, designated as National Expressway-4 (NE-4) is one such example of a National Expressway.
  • Economic Corridors (EC): Also managed by NHAI under MoRTH, these expressways are being built across various Industrial corridors of India. Amritsarā€“Jamnagar Expressway, designated as Economic Corridor-3 (EC-3) is an example of Industrial expressway.
  • State Expressways (SE): These are the regional expressways undertaken by respective state governments to connect the cities within a state. Mumbaiā€“Nagpur Expressway undertaken by Maharashtra state-government's MSRDC is an example for regional expressway undertaken by the Maharashtra state government.
  • Urban expressways: Additionally some urban governments and municipalities have also constructed expressways within or near urban areas to facilitate decongestion and faster movement within cities. DND Flyway between Delhi and Noida is an example for toll-free urban expressway.
  • Bypass expressways: Bypass expressways are constructed to divert the through-traffic, away from urban areas and city centres. They reduce urban pollution and improve travel speed. Chennai Bypass Road is an example that is built to bypass Chennai.
  • Spur expressways: Spur expressways in India are short corridors that branch off from a main expressway to connect important cities, towns, industrial zones or border areas, thus enhancing the regional connectivity. The 41 km (25 mi) long Nakodarā€“Amritsar spur section which branches off from the Delhiā€“Katra Expressway is an example.

Greenfield and Brownfield expressways[edit | edit source]

Greenfield Expressways in India are new expressways that are built on new alignments to facilitate economy of the areas they pass through. These newly built expressways allow for speeds up to 120 km/h (75 mph) and typically have space reserved between the carriages to allow for a future expansion. Delhiā€“Mumbai Expressway is an example which is being built with eight-lanes and a reserved space in the median to allow for future expansion of up to twelve lanes.[18] While Brownfield Expressways in India backed by 'Brownfield National Highway Project' (BNHP) are a series of projects undertaken to widen/re-develop existing national highways that have high traffic demand. The upgradation usually involves expansion of lanes from four to six, such as NH-709A.[19]

Design standards[edit | edit source]

Access[edit | edit source]

Fencing behind the milestone on Yamuna Expressway in Uttar Pradesh

Access-control on Indian expressways offers uninterrupted high-speed travel and safety. It is mainly achieved through fencing, Grade separation with over-passes and under-passes, barriers or medians and with additional dedicated service roads for local traffic. Fully access-controlled expressways do not allow access from side roads, villages or properties but only via inter-changes. Partially access-controlled expressways allow access at some at-grade junctions and minor road crossings may exist. Non access-controlled roads are conventional highways that have a mix of local and through traffic without any entry restrictions.

Carriageways[edit | edit source]

All Indian expressways have dual carriageways, one for each direction, separated by a median. Each carriageway typically has at least two lanes, with three to four lanes also being common. Most Greenfield expressways have a reserved space between the carriages for future expansion in number of lanes. Some expressways utilise concrete or metal beam crash barriers for safety. Paved shoulders or emergency lanes also exist beside each carriageway to support during the event of accident. Service lanes on each direction are often provided outside the fenced area for local traffic.

The Indian Roads Congress (IRC) has specified guidelines for designing access-controlled highways with its IRC:SP:99-2013 standard. It specifies a standard lane width of 3.5 m (11 ft) with paved shoulders having a width of 2ā€“2.5 m (6 ft 7 in ā€“ 8 ft 2 in) and unpaved shoulders having 1 m (3 ft 3 in) width.[20]

Interchanges[edit | edit source]

Inter-changes are junctions that connect expressway with other roads, highways or other expressways without interrupting the flow of traffic. They improve safety by eliminating right-angle collisions. Indian expressways have various interchanges designed for suitability. System interchangesā€”such as cloverleaf, three-way, trumpet connect with other national or state highways. Service interchangesā€”such as Single Point Diamond Interchange (SPDI) are used for connecting smaller roads.[21]

The design of inter-changes for Indian expressways and highways are governed by IRC:SP:99-2013 and Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) guidelines. While Cloverleaf interchanges require at least 20-30 acres of land, directional flyovers require less. The inter-change designs include acceleration/deceleration lanes for safe merging.[20]

Speed[edit | edit source]

Speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph) shown on the signage at Mumbaiā€“Pune Expressway

High-speed travel is a key feature on Indian expressways unlike conventional highways where speeds are low due to local traffic and cattle interruptions. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has set speed limits based on road geometry and vehicle type. Some Greenfield expressways are designed for speeds up to 150 km/h (93 mph) but are legally capped at 120 km/h (75 mph) for safety, with some expressways capped as low as 100 km/h (62 mph). For heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks, it is usually capped at 80ā€“100 km (50ā€“62 mi).[22] The minimum designed speed on ramps on inter-changes per IRC is 40ā€“60 km (25ā€“37 mi).[20]

Speed limits on Indian Expressways[23]
Expressway type Max enforced limit Design speed
Greenfield Expressways 120 km/h (75 mph) 150 km/h (93 mph)
Brownfield Expressways 100ā€“120 km/h (62ā€“75 mph) 100ā€“120 km/h (62ā€“75 mph)
Urban Expressways 70ā€“90 km/h (43ā€“56 mph) 80ā€“100 km/h (50ā€“62 mph)

Infrastructure[edit | edit source]

Tolls[edit | edit source]

Expressways in India excluding some urban ones are tolled. They are implemented to recover cost of construction, maintenance and operations, and are primarily managed by NHAI under MoRTH. The tolls are levied based on vehicle category, type of expressway and distance travelled. They form a great source of revenue for funding the expanding expressway network in India. Only designated interchanges allow entry and exit into the tolls. Rates of tolls are revised every year on April 1, based on the Wholesale price index (WPI) to adjust for inflation.[24][25]

FASTag[edit | edit source]

FASTag is an Electronic toll collection (ETC) system operated in India by NHAI under MoRTH. It uses Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to enable automatic deduction of toll charges at toll plazas on Indian expressways, allowing for vehicles to pass without stopping for toll transactions.[26]

The FASTag system is based on the National Electronic Toll Collection (NTEC) programme developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) as a part of India's efforts to digitise highway infrastructure and reduce congestion on toll plazas. It was launched in 2014 as a pilot project on the Ahmedabadā€“Mumbai section of Golden Quadrilateral highway. From 15 February 2021, fastag became mandatory for all four-wheeled vehicles on national highways.[27]

Wayside amenities[edit | edit source]

Offered by NHAI under MoRTH, Wayside Amenities (WSAs) are dedicated rest and service facilities located along Indian expressways and other national highways to improve road travel comfort, safety, and logistics. They offer rest, food, fuel, charging stations and similar services to both passengers and freight vehicles. The help in reducing driver fatigue, supporting logistics movement and in promoting highway tourism. They are typically located at intervals of 40ā€“50 km (25ā€“31 mi) along expressways. In June 2025, NHAI announced an ambitious plan of establishing over 1000 WSAs over a period of five years under Publicā€“private partnership. The WSAs in the plan include setting up of fuel stations and EV charging points, food courts, dhabas and restaurants, convenience stores, medical and childcare rooms, promotional spaces for local artisans, drone landing facilities and helipads at larger sites.[28]

Financing[edit | edit source]

The financing of Indian expressways is achieved through a combination of public funding, private investment, multilateral lending and via tolls. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) sets policy and budget allocations while National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is responsible for implementation and collection of tolls. The private sector entities participate through various Publicā€“private partnership models. A significant amount of funding for expressways comes from central government allocations, especially under Bharatmala Pariyojana. In the 2023-24 Union budget of India, MoRTH was allocated ā‚¹270,000 crore (US$38 billion), of which a large share was dedicated for expressways and economic corridor developments.[29] In 2024ā€“25, NHAI earned over ā‚¹41,000 crore (US$5.7 billion) in toll revenue, with projections of ā‚¹130,000 crore (US$18 billion) by 2030 through FASTag and monetisation of roads.[30]
