The proposed Eastern Economic corridor of India [1] would originate from Paradip port in Odisha province, pass through Jharkhand province, could possibly have an auxiliary loop through Chhattisgarh province, and would terminate at the Integrated Check Post (ICP), Raxaul in Bihar province on the India-Nepal border.
Beyond Nepal, it would be linked to China through Tibet.
A portion of this corridor in Bihar lies along Asian Highway 42 and the Trans Asian Rail Network.
[2] The route of this proposed Economic Corridor Archived 2012-03-17 at the Wayback Machine would follow a north–south alignment, with a number of major road and rail routes forming its spurs.
Spurs would connect to a trunk route, following a fishbone configuration.
