IND: National Highway Sector II Project
Summary Initial Environmental Examination Report and Environmental Assessment and Review Framework

The National Highway Sector II Project in India involves upgrading of about 600–700 kilometers (km) of selected national highways (NHs), particularly the North-South Corridor along NH26 and NH7. The Jhansi-Lakhnadon road (400 km) will be implemented in the first phase. Under the sector loan modality, the Sagar-Rajmarg Chouraha section (98 km) has been selected as a sample project road as it represents typical technical, environmental, and social conditions along the Project roads.
