Delhi Katra Expressway | Package-1 Part-1 | KMP Expressway to Rohtak Sonipat Road

650 km Delhi – Amritsar – Katra (DAK) expressway project (NE-5 & NE-5A) by NHAI is an under construction 4-lane access-controlled road with a route alignment connecting Jasaur Kheri, Jhajjar District near Delhi with Katra north of Jammu city.

This mix of brownfield & greenfield project was first announced in 2016 and its Detailed Project Report (DPR) was finalized in 2019. Although bidding is underway, the project is currently facing land acquisition hurdles in Punjab where farmers are seeking higher compensation for their farm land.

Phase 1 involves the construction of a 397.7 km greenfield expressway between Delhi – Ludhiana – Gurdaspur and a 99 km spur connecting Nakodar – Amritsar. It has been divided into 18 tenders / sections for construction with a 2 year deadline.
