In ancient times the ruling monarchs had established brick-laden roads in their cities. The most famous highway of medieval India was the Grand Trunk Road. The Grand Trunk Road begins in Sonargaon near Dhaka, Bangladesh and ends in Peshawar, Pakistan. It travels through important Indian cities and route such as Patna, Varanasi, Kanpur, Agra, Delhi, Panipat, Pipli, Ambala, Rajpura, Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Amritsar. In the 19th century, the British upgraded the highway network along with building roads in treacherous terrains such as the Western Ghats. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is the national authority for the management of a network of over 6,000 km of National Highways in India.
Background: The NHAI was created with the promulagation of the National Highways Authority of India Act, 1988. The Authority was formally made operational in February 1995 as an autonomous body. It succeeds the previous Ministry of Surface Transport.
