The Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises Road, commonly known as NICE Road, is a partially implemented and largely scrapped 4 to 6 lane privatetolledexpressway in Karnataka,[1] that was intended to connect the two important cities Bengaluru and Mysuru in the Indianstate of Karnataka. It will not be implemented, as Bengaluru-Mysuru access-controlled Highway part of NH 275 is going to replace it as a section of the new Bengaluru-Mangaluru Industrial Corridor (EC-34).

Route information

As of May 2017, around 800,000 vehicles use the road daily on its presently operational section from Electronic City on Hosur Road to Tumakuru Road.[2]
There has been accusation of irregularities in the execution of the Bengaluru Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) by the Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise (NICE).[3]
In conjunction with a 1995 Trade Mission to India sponsored by the then Governor of Massachusetts, William Weld, a memorandum of understanding was signed by Consortium members, Indian officials, including then Karnataka Chief Minister, H.D. Deve Gowda, and U.S. officials, which set the stage for launching the Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor project. The Consortium, Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises (NICE), comprises the Kalyani Group of Companies, VHB International LTD. and SAB International LTD. to develop the Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor.
The project has been in controversy since the day of planning. In October 2012, the Karnataka Lokayukta ordered a probe into several former chief ministers in matters relating to irregularities in land acquisition for the project.[4]
