This greenfield project was first announced in 2008 to connect Noida with Ballia. Since then, the project in Phase 1 has been revised to connect Meerut with Prayagraj. In Phase 2, the expressway will be extended by 110 km to Tigri on the Uttar Pradesh / Uttrakhand Border and by 314 km to Ballia near Varanasi.

In February 2021, Uttar Pradesh’s state government decided to extend the project on either end – from Meerut to Haridwar and from Prayagraj to Varanasi.
