PM Narendra Modi inaugurated the first stretch of the 1,380-km Delhi-Mumbai Expressway from Sohna in Haryana to Dausa in Rajasthan on February 12, 2023. It is an eight-lane access-controlled expressway, expandable to 12 lanes. Once the section is operational, it will reduce the travel time from 5 hours to 2.5-3 hours. The section is expected to be open for traffic from February 14, 2023.
The Sohna-Dausa section covers a length of 246 km of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, connecting the two major Indian cities. The section will serve as an alternative route to the busy Delhi-Jaipur expressway. The project has been developed at the cost of over Rs 12,150 crore. The section will be directly connected with the Mumbai-Delhi Expressway from DND to Jaitpur, from Jaitpur to Ballabhgarh and from Ballabhgarh to Sohna.
The Sohna-Dausa stretch will cover 160 km in Haryana, passing through Gurugram, Palwal and Nuh districts. The section will cover 11 villages in the Gurugram district, seven villages in Palwal and 47 villages in the Nuh district.
