Route conditions
NH43 is sadly one of the worst Highways of India. The highway is 4 laned in Tamar - Ranchi - Patra near Gumla stretch only covering just 142 kilometres (88 mi) of the total route. Rest 819 kilometres (509 mi) stretch is 2 laned with 4 lane is now being constructed in 300 kilometres (190 mi) more distance. The stretch between Ambikapur to Jashpurnagar is very seriously in bad conditions. The stretch between Gulluganj to Katni is also in serious bad conditions.
