The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) says the remaining work to four-lane the 34-km Pinjore-Baddi-Nalagarh highway will begin this month and be completed by the end of 2028. Hindustan Times reports that a fresh tender for the Rs 378-crore project, linking Haryana and Himachal Pradesh's industrial belt, was awarded in late July. The stretch, used by 20,000 vehicles daily, will get concrete service lanes, paved shoulders, and separate stormwater and wastewater drains. The project was originally approved in 2009 and launched in 2022, but only 38% work was done by December 2024. The earlier contractor was terminated in February 2025 after delays over land compensation and soil extraction permissions.
