Bangalore – Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) also called NICE road is a 4 to 6 lane private tolled expressway that connects the two important cities of Bengaluru and Mysore in the Indian state of Karnataka. This is being constructed by Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprices (NICE) chaired by Ashok Kheny on Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) basis.[1][2]

History
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 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 controversies since the day of planning. The project was suspended temporarily when H. D. Deve Gowda, and H. D. Kumaraswamy, of the Janata Dal, came to power in Karnataka. Deve Gowda alleges that this project is the country's biggest fraud and needs to be stopped.[3]
Social Impact
South Bangalore has been experiencing severe traffic congestion. One of the cause for this congestion is the numerous vehicles that head out towards Mysore and other cities. Bangalore is badly in need of an infrastructure uplift before life can improve for its citizens. This hi-speed fenced high-way was envisioned to help with this congestion.
