India plans 1,200 km e-highway on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway for electric vehicles

The Indian government plans to construct a separate e-highway on the 1,300-kilometre-long Delhi-Mumbai Expressway where trucks and buses can run at a speed of 120 kilometres per hour.

Replying to a query during Question Hour in Lok Sabha, Road Transport and Highway Minister Nitin Gadkari said, “We are trying to build ‘e-highway’ on the 1,300-km highway between Delhi and Mumbai.” He adds that the step is expected to bring logistics cost down by 70 per cent.
