The proposed '''Eastern [[Economic corridor]] of India''' <ref>[https://archive.today/20130126104256/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-01-19/patna/30642649_1_lakh-people-brgf-backward-region-grant-fund Eastern Economic Corridor of India]</ref> 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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20120417033514/http://mha.nic.in/pdfs/BM_IntCheck(E).pdf the Integrated Check Post (ICP), Raxaul] in [[Bihar]] province on the India-Nepal border. This corridor would also link up with [https://web.archive.org/web/20120507160656/http://www2.adb.org/Documents/TARs/NEP/40011-NEP-TAR.pdf North South Fast Track Corridor of Nepal]. Beyond [[Nepal]], it would be linked to [[China]] through [[Tibet]]. A portion of this corridor in Bihar lies along [https://web.archive.org/web/20131004212835/http://www.unescap.org/ttdw/common/TIS/AH/maps/ah_map_latest.jpg Asian Highway 42] and [http://www.unescap.org/ttdw/common/TIS/TAR/images/tarmap_latest.jpg the [[Trans-Asian Railway|Trans Asian Rail Network]]].

The route of this proposed [http://planningcommission.nic.in/aboutus/taskforce/tsk_brs.pdf Economic Corridor] would follow a north-south alignment, with a number of [[highway|major road]] and [[railroad|rail routes]] forming its [[Spur route|spurs]]. Spurs would connect to a [[trunk route]], following a fishbone configuration.

==Proposed benefits==
* This project would touch upon the life of over 300 million people in states like Bihar, Eastern UP, Nepal, Jharkhand, [[Chhattisgarh]], Odisha, and, to a lesser extent, the people in Eastern MP, the North Eastern Region, and even Tibet in the future.
* The project will effectively have over 75% of India’s major [[mineral resources]] in its feeder zone, including almost [[Mining in India|84% of India's Coal reserve and over 93% of India's iron ore reserve]]. The proposed corridor would help in efficient movement of these minerals.
* Most of the metal producing centers and many of the thermal [[power plant]]s and [[cement plant]]s would be effectively supported by the [[infrastructure]] created in the corridor.
* The corridor would link up two [https://web.archive.org/web/20111027134900/http://tourism.gov.in/TourismDivision/AboutScheme.aspx?Name=Tourism%20Infrastructure%20Development&CID=1&INO=1 important [[international tourism]] circuits in India], [http://bstdc.bih.nic.in/Tours.htm the [[Buddhist]] circuit in Bihar] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120120162639/http://www.orissatourism.gov.in/new/holiideas.htm Bhubaneswar-Konarak-Puri-Chilka the Lake circuit in Odisha].
* It would help develop links to [[economy of China|the Chinese economy]], which is [[de facto]] emerging as the new regional economic [[superpower]]. Such linkage between India & China, with their likely emergence as the two largest [[economy|economies]] on Earth, would have a beneficial impact on the [[Economy of East Asia|economy of the entire region]].
* The corridor would be a [http://www.unescap.org/tid/artnet/pub/wp7910.pdf potential trade route between China and India through Nepal].
