The Haryana section of the 669 km-long Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway has opened to traffic. This expressway will significantly reduce road travel time from Delhi to Vaishno Devi in Jammu and Kashmir via Amritsar.
Vehicles can now travel on this 135km stretch from the Kundli Manesar Palwal (KMP) Expressway to the Punjab border in Kaithal district, also known as the Greenfield Expressway. Although construction work is still underway on approximately a 261-km stretch in Punjab, toll collection has commenced on the 135-km stretch.
A total of eight toll barriers have been constructed on this section of the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway.
On the KMP-Kaithal section of the Delhi-Katra Expressway, toll charges are as follows:
- Light motor vehicles (cars, jeeps, etc.): Rs 240 one way, Rs 360 both ways
- Light commercial vehicles: Rs 385 one way, Rs 580 both ways
- Two-axle buses and trucks: Rs 805 one way, Rs 1210 both ways
- Three-axle commercial vehicles: Rs 880 one way, Rs 1320 both ways
Toll tax will be collected in the same manner with a slip issued at every entry point and payment due at the exit.
Toll barriers have been set up at various points, with the first one on the Delhi-Amritsar Expressway established near the KMP Expressway. The rest of the toll plazas have been set up on the Kharkhoda-Sampla road, Rohtak-Kharkhoda road, Panipat-Rohtak road, Jind-Gohana-Sonipat road, Rajasthan-Panipat road, Karnal-Jind road and Kaithal-Narwana road.
According to NHAI officials, the interchange construction for the national highway and state highway on the expressway will be completed by March 2025.
Delhi To Katra In Just 6 Hours
The Delhi-Katra Expressway will reduce travel time significantly. When Delhi to Katra will only a 6-hour distance, it will take four hours to reach Amritsar via this expressway. This expressway will also make it easier to reach cities like Patiala, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Gurdaspur, and Kapurthala.
The expressway will run through Jind, Sangrur, Malerkotla, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, and Gurdaspur. Near Nakodar, the Greenfield Expressway will divide into two parts: one heading towards Amritsar and the other towards Katra.
