The government has mapped over 6,000 black corridors across India, with Tamil Nadu recording the highest number of road accidents between 2020 and 2024.
India’s Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has released a comprehensive list of more than 6,000 black corridors—high‑risk stretches where fatal crashes are common.
The report shows that Tamil Nadu accounts for the largest share of accidents in the country during the 2020‑2024 period, underscoring the state’s urgent need for road safety interventions.
These corridors have been linked to thousands of injuries and deaths, imposing a heavy economic burden on families and the healthcare system.
In response, authorities plan to upgrade signage, improve lighting, and launch targeted awareness campaigns to curb the high accident rate.
