NHIDCL is formed by the Union Government to develop 10,000 km of roads with a special focus on North East and border areas in India. These include Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

In the Union Budget 2014-15, the government allotted Rs 3,000 crore for improving state roads and highways in this region.

In Meghalaya, there are five projects under various stages of development and one of the projects is likely to be awarded by NHIDCL in October.

Financial bid for the upgradation of 66 km long 2-lane stretches from Nongstoin to Domiasiat via Wahkaji has been received and the project is likely to be awarded this month.

The detailed project report (DPR) of three 2-laning projects in Meghalaya, totalling a length of over 240 km are ready and target of awarding these projects is December, 2014.

The DPR for the upgradation of Nongstoin-Rambrai-Kyrshai road up to Meghalaya-Assam border, is in progress and the project is likely to be completed by the end of this year.
