In 2010, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) renumbered all national highways. Thereafter, parts of the former (NH 1) and (NH 70) merged with the former (NH 21), which is present in NH 3.

NH 3 impact on real estate
When it comes to real estate, National Highway-3 has transformed the connectivity aspect and made it better in even the remote areas of Himachal Pradesh. This connectivity improvement has led to economic growth. NH 3 also brought an increase in aspects like trade, commerce and tourism, which further elevated the demand for properties in these areas.
This increase in demand has also attracted a lot of investors, resulting in an appreciation in property prices. However, in light of the real estate trend in Leh, it is quite complex in comparison to other states due to frequent fluctuations in economic activity. This is due to tourism activities and weather conditions. Hence, it is vital to understand the nuances before investing in Leh, as the place has both potential rewards and challenges in the way.
