The Delhi-Mumbai expressway faces delays, with a revised completion target of October 2024, past the initial January 2023 deadline. Of the 1,386 km, 630 km (sections like Sohna-Dausa-Sawai Madhopur and Jhalawar-MP/Gujarat border) are operational. Sohna-Vadodara might open by March 2025, passing through seven states. Land acquisition issues, particularly in Gujarat, delay progress despite proactive state measures. Major costs are Valsad (Rs 3,633 crore) and Navsari (Rs 2,287 crore). Construction started in April, aiming to enhance connectivity with Jewar Airport, DND Flyway, and JNPT Mumbai links.
