We will start our journey from Sohna Road and end our journey after watch WFDC corridor and KMP Expressway and end our journey at McDonalds at Baghera in Haryana.

The Delhi–Mumbai Expressway is a 1,350 km long, 8-lane wide (expandable to 12-lane) under-construction access-controlled expressway connecting India's national capital New Delhi with its financial capital Mumbai.[4][5][6][7] Foundation stone of the project was laid by union minister Nitin Gadkari in presence of Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley on 8 March 2019.[8] The total project value including the land acquisition cost is around ₹1,00,000 crores (~US$13.1 billion).[9] An additional 31 km long spur will also be constructed by the NHAI from Noida International Airport in Jewar to Sector-65, Faridabad on this expressway (DND–KMP Expressway).[10]

Delhi–Mumbai Expressway will connect Sohna Elevated Corridor, Delhi to Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Maharashtra via Dausa, Kota, Ratlam, Vadodara and Surat. It passes through the Union territory of Delhi (12 km) and the states of Haryana (129 km), Rajasthan (373 km), Madhya Pradesh (244 km), Gujarat (426 km) and Maharashtra (171 km). The main length of the expressway is from Sohna to Virar only i.e. 1,198 km. Additionally, it has two spurs: DND–Faridabad–KMP (59 km) and Virar–JNPT (92 km), which increases its length to 1,350 km.[11]

Initially, the expressway will be 8-lane wide with the greenfield-alignment route in backward areas, which will reduce the current 24 hours travel time to 12 hours.[12][13] Land for an additional four lanes shall be reserved in the middle of the road for future expansion, along with the space for utilities, plantation and public transport on both sides. This expressway, along with Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (Western DFC) will be a vital backbone of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor.
