June 25, 2025 - The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) plans to open a 67-km-long high-speed corridor from the Delhi-Mumbai expressway, connecting Bandikui with Jaipur through a four-lane access-controlled road. This road will allow commuters between Delhi and Jaipur to save travel time by about an hour.

The spur, expected to open to traffic by mid July, will shorten the distance between these two cities by about 12 kms and help commuters avoid the congested Jaipur-Agra highway (NH 44) which currently they have to take after exiting the Delhi-Mumbai expressway at the Bandhrej toll plaza in Dausa district.

At present, it takes around 2 hours and 30 minutes to travel between Delhi and Bandhrej (245 kms) on the Delhi-Mumbai expressway and another 1.5 hours to cover the remaining distance (69 kms). However, with opening of traffic on this spur, the total travel time is likely to reduce by an hour between the two cities.

A greenfield expressway project to connect Jaipur with the Delhi-Agra highway is also being planned, according to NHAI sources.
