**Executive Summary**
On June 22, 2026, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways issued notifications under Section 11 of the National Highways Authority of India Act, 1988. The document formalizes the entrustment of a specific stretch of NH-48 to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and amends a 1999 notification to omit redundant entries. These actions centralize the management of the highway section within the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi.
**Key Points / Main Content**
**Entrustment of NH-48 (S.O. 3330(E))**
* The Central Government has officially entrusted the NH-48 stretch to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
* The designated section spans from Dhaula Kuan (Delhi) to the Delhi/Haryana border.
* The entrustment covers the entire National Highway chainage falling within the NCT of Delhi.
**Amendment of Principal Notification (S.O. 3331(E))**
* The government has amended the principal notification S.O. 78(E) dated February 4, 1999.
* Entry number 8 in the 1999 notification table, which referred to the stretch from Delhi to the Delhi/Haryana border (Km 0.0 to Km 11.00), is now omitted.
* This amendment ensures the regulatory record reflects the current jurisdictional updates.
**Impact Analysis**
**National Highways Authority of India (NHAI)**
**Impact**
NHAI is now legally responsible for the management, maintenance, and development of the NH-48 stretch between Dhaula Kuan and the Delhi/Haryana border.
**Action Required**
The authority must take over administrative and operational control of the specified highway section within the NCT of Delhi.
**Ministry of Road Transport and Highways**
**Impact**
The Ministry has successfully transferred the jurisdiction of this specific highway stretch and updated historical notifications to prevent regulatory overlap.
**Action Required**
Update internal records and ensure the omission of entry 8 from the 1999 notification is reflected in all relevant gazettes and databases.
**Commuters and Local Authorities in NCT of Delhi**
**Impact**
The management of a critical 11.00 km stretch of NH-48 is now consolidated under a single national authority.
**Action Required**
Local authorities may need to coordinate with NHAI rather than previous management bodies for issues related to this specific highway section.
