New 24-km Faridabad section of Delhi-Mumbai Expressway opens to public

A newly completed 24-kilometer section of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway has opened to the public in Faridabad, Haryana, marking a major milestone in improving road connectivity.

Although the National Highways Authority of India(NHAI) has not yet scheduled an official inauguration, the stretch has been open to traffic for about a month.

Built at a cost of ₹1,729 crore, this section runs from Mithapur (Jaitpur Pushta) on the Delhi border to Kelly village in Ballabhgarh, significantly easing congestion on the roads around Faridabad.

The newly opened expressway aims to alleviate pressure on NH-19, which frequently faces heavy traffic, and is expected to handle over 50,000 vehicles daily.

This will help reduce congestion on city roads and improve the overall traffic flow.

The expressway also connects to the Delhi-Agra Highway (NH-19), making travel to and from Faridabad smoother. While the expressway's path begins at the DND Flyway in New Delhi, the stretch within the city is still under construction and is not expected to open anytime soon.
