Thanks Shiju 

We had mailed to NHAI asking when this is getting implemented, there was no response. I had once called one of the project manager of NHAI he was not aware this change.
If someone from Delhi can contact NHAI, it will helpful.

In some newspaper,  rolling out period for this project was mentioned as 6 years, so we have enough time.Even govt tenders are still using old highway numbering system. 

Add to this, if anyone can get information about any statehighways (other than mentioned here)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Indian_roads#Topics
please share the links. It will be helpful.

WP:INTI is working on National Waterways also. I dont think any Indian language wikipedias have articles on that.

Thanks,

Just noticed that there is a discussion regarding this in English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Indian_roads#NHAI_Renumbering_complete

But many language wikipedia communities are not aware about this renumbering. Hope they will take of note of this now.

Dear wikimedians,

There is an order from Govt. of India that came out some time in 2010 April about renumbering the national highways of India. It is here:http://dorth.gov.in/writereaddata/sublinkimages/finaldoc6143316640.pdf

This has an impact on all wikipedias (including all Indian language wikipedias) that have articles about  Indian national highways.

I am not sure whether this is implemented by Govt of India yet, but it will be good to mention about this in all the wikipedia articles about Indian national highways. For time being, it is good to mention the new number in the first sentence itself.

May be some time later (when we are sure that this is implimented by the Govt.), we can rename  the article titles. Also maps needs to be updated. It is important that duplicate entries are avoided by making using of redirect pages.
