Claim: Bharatmala Pariyojana: Phase 1: 5,35,000 crore rupees for expanding highways sector with multi-modal integration (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2018-01-01): This is a new umbrella program for the highways sector that aims to optimize the efficiency of road traffic movement across the country by bridging critical infrastructure gaps. Special attention has been paid to fulfilling the connectivity needs of areas of economic activity, places of religious and tourist interest, border areas, backward and tribal areas, coastal areas and trade routes with neighbouring countries under the programme. Multi-modal integration is one of the key focuses of this programme. A total of around 53,000 kms of NHs have been identified to improve National Corridor efficiency, of which 24,800 kms are to be taken up in Phase-I, which will be implemented over a period of five years i.e. 2017-18 to 2021-22 in a phased manner. This includes 5,000 kms of the National Corridors, 9000 kms of Economic Corridors, 6000 km of Feeder Corridors and lnter-Corridors, 2000 kms of Border Roads, 2,000 kms of Coastal Roads and Port Connectivity Roads and 800 kms of Green-field Expressways. Total likely fund provision for Bharatmala Phase-I is Rs. 5,35,000 cr. [...] 2.4 New Expressways planned under under Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-I (i) Delhi-Jaipur Expressway (ii) Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway (iii) Vadodra-Mumbia Expressway (iv) Hyderabad- Vijayawada- Amravathi (HVA) Expressway (v) Nagpur-Hyderabad-Bangalore (NBH) Expressway (vi) Kanpur Lucknow (KL) Expressway (vii) Ring road/ Expressway at Amravathi 2.5 Indian Bridge Management System (IBMS)

Evidence (2022-08-07): The Bharatmala Pariyojana was thus launched in 2017, with an overarching corridor-approach, to optimise the efficiency of already built infrastructure, enable multimodal integration, bridge infrastructural gaps for a more seamless freight and passenger movement across the country and integrate National and Economic Corridors. [...] Under the BharatMala project, approved for an estimated cost of Rs 6,92,324 crore (including other ongoing schemes), about 65,000 km of National Highways are to be constructed in two phases. A total of around 24,800 km is being developed in Phase-1 of the Bharatmala Pariyojana, as approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) in October 2017, and was to be implemented over a five-year period, that is, 2017-18 to 2021-22. The Phase-1 also includes the construction of 10,000 km of balance road works under NHDP, taking the total length of road development under the first phase to 34,800 km, at an estimated outlay of Rs 5,35,000 crore. Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-1 is expected to generate roughly 14.2 crore man-days of employment during the construction phase, and the increased level of economic activities, enabled by the development of Economic Corridor network shall lead to the generation of about 22 million permanent jobs. As of December 2021, a total of 574 road projects with an aggregate length of 19,926 km, and costing Rs 5.98 lakh crore were approved under Phase-1 of the program. Of this, road length of 6,976 km has already been completed. This corresponds to 35 per cent of the approved project length.
Claim: Bharatmala Pariyojana: Phase 1: 5,35,000 crore rupees for expanding highways sector with multi-modal integration (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-08-13): The Indian Government has been actively investing in the development of road infrastructure. Major initiatives like the Bharatmala Pariyojana aim to upgrade and expand the road network, including the construction of expressways, economic corridors, and feeder routes. The first phase of the programme will develop 34,800 km of highways, including 27 Greenfield corridors and India’s largest expressway (a 1,386 km long Delhi-Mumbai Expressway). Under the Pariyojana, 60% projects have been envisaged on Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM), 10% projects on BOT (Toll) Mode, and 30% projects on EPC mode. The roads and highways sector has pioneered several innovative public-private partnership (PPP) models besides having a strong contractual framework compared with other sectors. These factors have led to significant investments from private players in the sector. Several incentives have also been announced by the Government to attract private sector participation and foreign direct investment, which include Government bearing the cost of project feasibility study, land for the right of way and way side amenities, shifting of utilities, environment clearances, etc. [...] The highways sector in India has been at the forefront of performance and innovation. The government has successfully rolled out over 60 road projects in India worth over $10 Bn based on the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM). HAM has balanced risk appropriately between private and public partners and boosted PPP activity in the sector.

Evidence (2018-11-12): The Modi government’s goal – to build and upgrade 83,677km of roads in the next five years – if completed, will make Vajpayee’s achievement pale in comparison. It will increase total corridors from the current six (four GQ, North-South, East-West) to 50. Currently, 40 per cent freight is carried on national highways, which will rise to 70-80 per cent. Presently, only 300 districts are connected via four (or more) lane highways. Under Bharatmala, the number of connected districts will cross 550. [...] Bharatmala Pariyojana aims to correct these inconsistencies. [...] Under Bharatmala, 24 multimodal logistics parks will also be developed. Currently, under the point-to-point connectivity model, the cost of transporting one million tonne per kilometre is Rs 2.4. After logistics parks are developed, this cost will come down to Rs 1.8 – a reduction of one-fourth in costs. At least that’s the ideal situation the government is aiming for.
