The northernmost stretch of NH 1 falls in the Indian state of Punjab. It initiates at the Wagah Border between India and Pakistan, at the Attari village and runs 30 km down to the city of Amritsar. From there, it passes through the districts of Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Sangrur and Patiala. The cities of Kapurthala, Sangrur and Patiala, however, do not fall along the NH 1. In Patiala district, the highway passes through the town of Rajpura, which has gained prominence due to its important location on the GT Road.

This stretch of NH 1 was witness to the mass-movement and selective massacre of refugees across what is today the border between India and Pakistan, during the Partition of India.
