Nandni tunnels are the series of four highway tunnels built inside the Nandni Wildlife Sanctuary on NH44 Jammu-Srinagar National Highway in Jammu and Kashmir in India. Built between Jammu and Udhampur cities with a combined length of 1.4 km (T1 - 210 m, T2 - 300 m, T3 - 330 m, & T4 - 540 m), the tunnels have reduced distance and travel time between Jammu and Srinagar by bypassing 6.8 km of rugged mountainous area with 3.6 km of straight bridges and tunnels. [1]

They were built by Afcons Infrastructure a subsidiary of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group.[2][3]
