The North-South–East-West Corridor (NS-EW) is the largest ongoing highway project in India. It is the second phase of the National Highways Development Project (NHDP), and consists of building 7300 kilometers of four/six lane expressways connecting Srinagar, Kanyakumari, Porbandar and Silchar, at a cost of US$12.317 billion (at 1999 prices). As of September 2010[update], 5258 of 7300 km project has been completed.[1]
In combination with India's Golden Quadrilateral, and port connectivity highways, NS-EW Corridor forms a key part of Indian highway network connecting many of its important manufacturing, commerce and cultural centers. As of October 2011, India has completed and placed in use some 14000 kilometers of such 4-lane highways.
The NS–EW project is managed by the National Highways Authority of India under the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways.
