Delhi–Jaipur super Expressway (Hindi: दिल्ली-जयपुर एक्सप्रेसवे) or NH48[1][2] is a 195.1-kilometre-long (121.2 mi), eight-lane, controlled-access expressway, connecting Delhi with Jaipur in India.[3] It starts from Kherki Toll Plaza in Gurugram and terminate near Chandwaji at Jaipur.[4]

Several townships were developed along the expressway, four in Haryana at Manesar, Pataudi, Bawal and Nangal Choudhary, and five in Rajasthan at Bhiwadi, Behror, Kotputli, Shahapura and Chomu.[5][6]

Along with the Delhi Mumbai Expressway and Western Dedicated Freight Corridor, it is a vital component of the approx. ₹6 lakh crore ($100 billion) Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor.

History[]

It was built as a greenfield expressway passing through 423 villages of 11 tehsils in 7 districts of Haryana and Rajasthan.[7] The total land required for the project was 1,755.9 hectares (4,339 acres).[8] The cost includes ₹6,350 crores for civil works, ₹5,000 crores for resettlement and rehabilitation of affected individuals,[9] and ₹50.60 crores for environment budget.

In 2006–07, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways of the UPA government planned to construct 10 expressways in the country, including this one.[10] In 2011, detailed project planning commenced.[11] In 2012, Haryana and Rajasthan Governments approved the proposed alignment.[12]

In 2015, the new Highway Minister Nitin Gadkari expedited ₹32,800 crores stalled project,[13] by revising the alignment so that the expressway starts from Kherki Dhaula Toll Plaza instead of originally planned point of origin at Indira Gandhi International Airport.[8]
