    North–South and East–West Corridor Welcome to NHAI

    There is a significant public interest in extending the East West Corridor from Silchar to Moreh through Jiribam and Imphal, and from Nagaon to Stilwell Road via Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, and Ledo. Implementing these two extensions could potentially enhance cross-border trade with South East Asia.
