| ==History==
| |
| [[File:Aerial view of NICE Road toll booth.jpg|thumb|left|NICE Road toll plaza]]
| |
| In conjunction with a 1995 Trade Mission to India sponsored by the then Governor of Massachusetts, [[William Weld]], a memorandum of understanding was signed by Consortium members, Indian officials, including then [[Chief Minister of Karnataka|Karnataka Chief Minister]], [[H.D. Deve Gowda]], and U.S. officials, which set the stage for launching the Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor project. The Consortium, Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises (NICE), comprises the Kalyani Group of Companies, VHB International LTD. and SAB International LTD. to develop the Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor.

|
| |
| The project has been in controversy since the day of planning. In October 2012, the [[Lokayukta|Karnataka Lokayukta]] ordered a probe into several former chief ministers in matters relating to irregularities in land acquisition for the project.<ref name="lokayuktaprobe">{{cite news|title=Mysore infrastructure corridor project: Probe ordered against former Karnataka chief ministers |url=http://www.ndtv.com/article/south/mysore-infrastructure-corridor-project-probe-ordered-against-former-karnataka-chief-ministers-284367 |first=Amit|last=Chaturvedi |date=2012-10-25|agency=NDTV |location=Bangalore |access-date=2012-10-25}}</ref>

The presently completed part of NICE road consists of a half-circle around the city of [[Bangalore]], starting from [[Electronic City]] Ending at Tumkur Road. It has access points at [[Electronic City]] , Bannergatta Road, Kanakapura Road, Mysore Road, Magadi Road and Tumkur Road
