National Highway 19 (NH 19) is a national highway in India.[1] It was previously referred to as Delhi–Kolkata Road and is one of the busiest national highways in India. After renumbering of national highways, the Delhi–Agra route is now national highway 44 and the Agra–Kolkata route is numbered national highway 19.[2][3] It constitutes a major portion of the Indian section of the historical Grand Trunk Road. It is also part of AH1 of Asian Highway Network, that traverses from Japan to Turkey.
It was earlier known as NH 2 (Old) before renumbering of all national highways by Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in 2010.
