Fastest way to get to Mumbai, currently only phase 1 only operational between nagpur to Mumbai. Speed limit is 120 Km/hr for cars and 80 Km/hr for trucks and other big vehicles. No motorcycle or two wheelers vehicles are allowed. I was able to reach shirdi in 5.5 hrs from nagpur saved a ton of time!.
Toll: All tolls are at exit only, so make sure to have fast tags. The toll amount will get cut once you exit the express way. There are significant number of petrol pumps on the way so don't worry if you are low on fuel, but would be nice to fill it up before starting the journey on the highway.
Amenities: No food or toilet option, unless you exit the expressway and join again.
Caution: There a lot of dogs, cats and monkey's roaming on the roads so make sure to spot them early to avoid accidents with your vehicle. At some places there is construction going and markings are not available so speed goes from 120 km/hr to 30 km/hr in quick distance.
Suggestion: One should try to travel during day time, as road lanes doesn't have radium reflective markings for nighttime and there is a high chance of animal coming you way.
Safety: Do follow lane change procedures for safe driving and have seat belts on, all the time, even in the back.

4star because, Currently there no restaurants for food, water etc., even car/tyre service stations are not available and also no any other facilities along the roadside are available. Ohh, one more thing, i didn't find any car charging stations either. (very few or to be precise only 3, petrol station are available in between Aurangabad to Nagpur) Therefore, Govt. required to start these facilities at the earliest.
However, road quality is excellent - it is straight, no ups & downs & no turnings etc. Once you enter through starting toll station, then you will come across only exit toll as per your destination.
