The 8-lane, access-controlled Delhi-Mumbai Expressway (DME) project, which spans 1350 kilometers and connects DND in Delhi with JNPT in Mumbai, is currently under construction.
Five states—Haryana (80 km), Rajasthan (380 km), Madhya Pradesh (370 km), Gujarat (300 km), and Maharashtra—will be connected by the motorway with closed tolling (120 km).
On either side, 92 wayside facilities have been proposed at intervals of around 50 kilometers.
Due to its alignment, Delhi and Mumbai are now only 150 km apart, cutting the existing 24-hour travel time in half to 13 hours.
It will link towns like Ratlam, Mandsaur, and Jhabua in Madhya Pradesh.
