3 construction firms have submitted bids to build and operate the 22.85 km Jalbehra – Shahbad extension (NH 152G) at the northern-end of the 227 km Trans Haryana Expressway (NH 152D).

NHAI invited tenders for its development on the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) in December 2021 with a 730 day (2 year) deadline and Rs. 557.20 crore estimate. Technical bids were opened on April 13.
