The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has listed the Jalandhar Greenfield Bypass as a six-lane highway project spanning 46.5 kilometres. The project connects Kahlwan on National Highway 3 (NH-03) to Kang Sahbu on National Highway 703 (NH-703), passing through Sarmastpur, Madara and Khajurla.
Official project records provide details about the bypass's route, contractor, construction start date and estimated cost. However, an official completion date and a verified estimate of travel-time savings have not been established.
According to NHAI, the bypass is designed as a six-lane greenfield road. Its route begins at Kahlwan on NH-03 and ends at Kang Sahbu on NH-703.
The alignment passes through Sarmastpur on NH-44, Madara on NH-03 and Khajurla on NH-44. These highway junctions form part of the route identified in NHAI's project records.
The bypass's recorded length is 46.5 km. The official route details establish the locations and national highways associated with the project.
NHAI's award records identify Krishna Constructions as the concessionaire for the project under the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM).
The letter of award was issued on September 30, 2021. NHAI's under-construction project list records December 29, 2022, as the project's construction start date.
Under the Hybrid Annuity Mode, project payments are structured between the government authority and the concessionaire, with the arrangement designed to share construction and financing responsibilities. The project-specific records identify HAM as the model used for the bypass.
