China has about 22,000 Kms of high speed railway, average speed here is above 220 km/hr, India has none, not a single km of high speed Railway.
Pakistan has about 2000 kms of Motorways, India has none, not a single km of Motorway. Engineering, quality of construction is different in Motorways and expressways.
Motorways has to come up with certain highway design specifications. India has expressways but their total length is not much, a 160 km patch of expressway between Mumbai and Pune, A small road between Delhi and Noida, a few more...not comparable to Motorway system of Pakistan.

India is a country densely populated and long distance travel people prefer by trains and flights(upper middle classes and rich).This is also a major reason we don't have concept of Expressway for past decade instead highway.
The NASA image proof of how vast Indian road networks(from east to west and north to south),compared to Punjab and single stretch road through indus river of pakistan.
Look at one state of India and its road network coverages...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_state_highways_in_Gujarat
A small state like kerala has 1811 kms of Highways(population density much higher and geography difficult to make very wide roads) and having 4341 Kms of state highways and major district roads of 27,469 Kms
Can you imagine a small state having 31,811 Kms of road networks(Big and small) !
India has a road network of over 5,472,144 kilometres (3,400,233 mi) as on 31 March 2015, the second largest road network in the world(Big and small)
So if you consider this much large network,maintaining the existing one and also constructing new one is not an easy task.In fact india is adding 23 Kms of highways every single day.
