The IMT trilateral highway project is largely funded by Indian government.
The highway is country’s second prime international road project for India, the first being Bangladesh-Bhutan-India-Nepal (BBIN) project. The project also helps to thicken Indian position as a counterweight to the strategic influence of the People’s Republic of China in the region.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has been appointed as the technical executing agency and project management consultant for the project. Estimated budget for the completion of construction of IMT trilateral highway section between India and Myanmar is INR 1,177 crore.
