The Western Peripheral Expressway or Kundli-Manesar–Palwal (KMP) Expressway, is an operational 6-lane (3 lanes in each direction),[2] 135.6 km (84.3 mi)-long Expressway[3] in the Haryana state of India.[4][5] Along with the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, the Western Peripheral Expressway is expected to divert more than 50,000 heavy vehicles away from Delhi,[6][7] which will help to maintain good air quality in Delhi.[8] Western Peripheral Expressway along with Eastern Peripheral Expressway completes the largest Ring Road around Delhi.[9][10] Two kilometer belt on either side of this expressway has been notified as controlled where five new contiguous greenfield cities will be developed as part of Delhi-Sonipat-Rohtak-Gurugram-Faridabad agglomeration. Delhi Metro Phase-V entails a proposed new metro route along this expressway. The 53-km Manesar to Palwal section was inaugurated by Nitin Gadkari in April 2016.[11][12] The remaining 83-km-long Kundli to Manesar section of KMP expressway was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 19 November 2018.[13] In 2003, the Western Peripheral Expressway was first proposed along with the Eastern Peripheral Expressway as a Build Operate Transfer (BOT) project to construct a 135.6 km, access controlled four lane expressway from NH 1 near Kundli Sonipat to NH 2 Palwal near Faridabad.[14] Since Delhi would benefit from rerouting the vehicular away from it, Delhi state agreed to bear half of the land acquisition cost of the expressway.[15] In 2006, the Haryana government began work on Western Peripheral Expressway project,[16] when the tender was awarded to KMP Expressways ltd. with commercial operations supposed to begin in June 2009, which was revised to May 2013.[17] In 2016, repeated delays forced the Government of Haryana to terminate the contract and pay KMP Expressways and lenders ₹1,300 crore (equivalent to ₹14 billion or US$190 million in 2017) as termination payment.[18][19] In January 2016, after intervention of the Supreme Court of India, the project was revived and new bids were invited,[20] and the plan was upgrade from four lanes to six lanes.[21] The whole completed expressway became operational in November 2018.
