The DND–Faridabad–KMP Expressway, formally known as NH-148NA is a 59 km long, 6-lane wide access-controlled expressway in Delhi NCR, India.[2] It connects the junction of DND Flyway and Ring Road at Maharani Bagh in Delhi with KMP Expressway at Khalilpur, Nuh district (near Sohna) in Haryana. The NH-148NA is a spur (branch) of Delhi–Mumbai Expressway project. This expressway will have an additional 31 km long spur from Sector-65, Faridabad bypass to Jewar Airport.[3]
The DND/ Maharani Bagh interchange and Kalindi Kunj metro are the 2 entry points in the state of Delhi. In Haryana, it passes entirely through existing Faridabad bypass road. The HSVP has transferred the Faridabad bypass to NHAI for the construction of NH–148NA highway. The construction work was started in May 2021 and 20 Km stretch from KMP interchange to NH-2 interchange at Kail Gaon (Ballabhgarh) has been opened on 12 February 2023. The entire project is expected to get completed by January 2025.

The construction work of the 'DND–Faridabad–KMP' section was awarded by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to Dineshchandra R.

In Haryana it will have multiple Flyovers and a 3-lane service road on either side of Faridabad bypass road.

NH-148NA exits Delhi at MCD Toll Plaza (near Mithapur) which is 12.5 km from the DND starting point.
