The National Highways Network of India measures over 70,934 km as of 2010, including over 1,000 km of limited-access expressways.

The national Highways Development Project (NHDP) is a major effort to expand and upgrade the network of highways. NHAI often uses a public-private partnership model for highway development, maintenance and toll collection.

This includes over 2,600 km of expressways currently under construction.
