## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

(SHRI MANSUKH L. MANDAVIYA)

- (a) This  Ministry  is  primarily  responsible  for  development  and  maintenance  of  National Highways (NHs). The works on NHs are, accordingly, taken up depending upon inter-se priority, traffic density and availability of funds.

The Ministry has taken up development of NHs/ roads under various phases of National Highways Development Project (NHDP), Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for the North East Region (SARDP-NE) including Arunachal Pradesh Package of Roads, Special Programme  for  Development  of  Roads  in  the  Left  Wing  Extremism  (LWE)  affected  areas, Externally  Aided  Projects  (EAP),  National  Highways  (Original)  [NH  (O)]  scheme,  etc. Various phases of NHDP envisaged development of NHs to 4/6 lane and 2 lane NH standards, development of expressways, etc. Development of most of the roads/ NHs under other schemes envisages their upgradation to 2 lane NH standards.

The Ministry had taken up detailed review of NHs network with a view to develop the road connectivity to Border areas, development of Coastal roads including road connectivity for Non-Major  ports,  improvement  in  the  efficiency  of  National  Corridors,  development  of Economic Corridors, Inter Corridors and Feeder Routes along with integration with Sagarmala, etc.,  under  'Bharatmala  Pariyojana'. Under this proposal, the Ministry has identified stretches for development of about 26,200 km length of Economic Corridors, 8,000 km of Inter Corridors, 7,500  km  of  Feeder  Routes,  5,300  km  Border  and  International  connectivity  roads,  4,100  km Coastal  and  Port  connectivity  roads,  1,900  km  Expressways,  National  Corridor  Efficiency improvement by development of ring roads around 28 cities, decongestion of about 125 choke points and 66 congestion points, development of 35 nos. of Multimodal Logistics Parks.

The  Cabinet  Committee  on  Economic  Affairs  (CCEA)  has  approved  the  proposal  for investment  approval  for  Phase-I  of  'Bharatmala  Pariyojana'  during  its  meeting  held  on 24.10.2017. 'Bharatmala Pariyojana' Phase-I includes development of about 9,000 km length of Economic corridors, about 6,000 km length of Inter-corridor and feeder roads, about 5,000 km length  of  National  Corridors  Efficiency  improvements,  about  2,000  km  length  of  Border  and International connectivity roads, about 2,000 km length of Coastal and port connectivity roads, about  800  km  length  of  Expressways  and  balance  length  of  about  10,000  km  of  roads  under NHDP. The programme is targeted for completion in 2021-2022.

The general principle for upgradation of roads under Phase-I of Bharatmala Pariyojana includes development of Economic corridors primarily to 4/6 lane NH standards, Inter-corridor and feeder roads primarily to 4 lane NH standards and Border, International connectivity roads, Coastal and port connectivity roads primarily to 2 lane NH standards.

Apart from this, the Ministry also allocates funds for development of State Roads (non rural) under the CRF Scheme and Economic Importance and Inter State Connectivity (EI&ISC) Schemes as per the provisions of the CRF Act, 2000 amended by the Finance Act from time to time.

(b) 59 nos. of projects on NHs are ongoing in the State of Madhya Pradesh in a length of about 3,034 km amounting to Rs. 23,588 crore.

69 nos. of Projects under CRF Scheme are ongoing in the State of Madhya Pradesh in a length of about 1,523 km amounting to Rs. 3,671 crore.

(c) and (d) 14 nos of ongoing projects on NHs in the State of Madhya Pradesh are delayed. Details of these delayed projects including their present progress and target date of completion is annexed.
