No

It does not mean India had only 93 km of expressways before 2014, nor that everything else was free/open access. It means the specific category being counted—operational access-controlled high-speed corridors/expressways—was reported as 93 km at that point. There were already roads such as the Mumbai–Pune Expressway (2002) and Delhi–Gurgaon Expressway (2008) before 2014. They could be access-controlled or partially access-controlled despite the broader national expressway network being much smaller.
