Panipat Elevated Corridor is an Indian elevated six-lane expressway located in Panipat, Haryana. The entire stretch has been developed into an elevated six-lane access-controlled highway to by-pass the city of Panipat.
The expressway was built to ease the traffic on NH-1 (now NH-44, also known as the Grand Trunk Road) between Delhi and Amritsar. It is 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) long.[1] This INR 4.22 billion build-operate-transfer (BoT) project has been executed by L&T Panipat Elevated Corridor Limited (L&T PECL), in a time period of 28 months at a cost of INR 325 crores.[2] National Highways Authority of India had allotted a 20-year concession period (which started in January 2006) to L&T PECL to finance, design, build, operate and maintain this facility.
