    National Highway 9 (NH 9) is a major East-West running National Highway in India. Starting at Malaut, the highway ends at Askot[1] in Pithoragarh district in Uttarakhand while passing through the states of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.[2] After renumbering of all national highways by National Highway Authority of India in 2010, the current NH 9 was formed by merging five differently numbered national highways in 2010, including Old NH 10 (Fazilka-Delhi section), Old NH 24 (Delhi-Rampur section), Old NH 87 (Rampur-Rudrapur section), Old NH 74 (Rudrapur-Sitarganj-Khatima section) and Old NH 125 (Tanakpur-Pithoragarh section).
