The Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) or Kundli–Ghaziabad–Palwal Expressway (KGP Expressway) is a 135 km (84 mi) long, 6-lane wide expressway passing through the states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh in India. The expressway starts from the Western Peripheral Expressway at Kundli, Sonipat, passing through Baghpat, Ghaziabad and Noida districts in UP and Faridabad district in Haryana before rejoining the Western Peripheral Expressway near Dholagarh, Palwal. Eastern Peripheral Expressway along with Western Peripheral Expressway completes the largest Ring Road around Delhi. The Eastern Peripheral Expressway was declared as National Expressway 2 (NE-2) in March 2006.

The expressway has been constructed at a cost of ₹11,000 crore (equivalent to ₹150 billion or US$1.6 billion in 2023) to relieve traffic congestion in the Faridabad–Ghaziabad stretch and also to prevent pollution causing commercial vehicles from entering Delhi.Government of India approved funding for the expressway in August 2015 on build-operate-transfer mode under NHDP Phase VI.

The expressway crosses India’s widest 14-lane expressway, Delhi–Meerut Expressway, and provides connectivity to Meerut.

Eastern Peripheral Expressway is expected to divert more than 50,000 trucks away from Delhi and reduce air pollution in Delhi by 27%. It was inaugurated on 27 May 2018 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Baghpat. An interchange connecting Eastern Peripheral Expressway with Yamuna Expressway at Jaganpur Afzalpur village near Noida International University in Gautam Buddha Nagar district has been under construction since August 2025, after being delayed for several years.
