The Grand Trunk Road is a vital component of Haryana's transportation infrastructure because it serves as a major highway that facilitates connectivity between the state and the rest of India.1

By passing through Haryana, this historic route acts as a key artery that converges on Delhi, ensuring that the state remains well-integrated into the broader national transit network. Its role in linking various regions has been significant for centuries, evolving from an ancient trade route into a modern transit corridor that supports the movement of people and goods across the state.12
