The Delhi-Vadodara-Mumbai Expressway has been built up to the Dausa region of Rajasthan, which is only 65 km from Jaipur. When completed, this route will connect Delhi to Jaipur and other cities of the state. The highway will reduce the distance and travel time between Jaipur and the national capital by more than three hours. Generally it takes around 5 hours to travel from Jaipur to Delhi.
The upcoming project, however, will reduce the travel time to just two hours. This will save both time and money and increase trade and tourism between the two cities. Additionally, this highway will reduce the travel time between Delhi and Mumbai from 24 hours to just 12 hours. The expressway will have a speed limit of 120 kmph.
Currently it takes 5 hours to travel between Jaipur to Delhi. There will be a reduction of three hours in travel time on the Delhi-Vadodara-Mumbai Expressway. Once the project is completed, one would be able to travel from Delhi to Jaipur in just 2 hours.
