The Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) is a national highway network connecting India’s four major metro cities: Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, and Mumbai. It forms a quadrilateral shape on the map of India. The total length of the Golden Quadrilateral is approximately 5,846 kilometers.

The four sections of the Golden Quadrilateral are:
– Delhi – Kolkata (NH 2 & NH 19): Approximately 1,454 km
– Kolkata – Chennai (NH 16 & NH 5): Approximately 1,684 km
– Chennai – Mumbai (NH 48, NH 44, NH 66 & NH 79, among others): Approximately 1,290 km (The primary route is via Bangalore, approx 1290 km, direct coastal route is much longer but not the GQ path).
– Mumbai – Delhi (NH 48): Approximately 1,419 km
Comparing the distances, the Kolkata – Chennai section is the longest.

The Golden Quadrilateral project was launched in 2001 by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) under the National Highways Development Project (NHDP). It is one of the largest highway projects in India and has significantly improved connectivity between these major economic hubs.
