- (b) The total road length in 2005 was 38,09,156 km and in 2015 it was 54,72,144 km. Total road length of 2015 comprise 97,991 km (1.79%) of National Highways; 1,67,109 km (3.05%) of State Highways; 11,01,178 km (20.12%) of Other PWD Roads; 33,37,255 km (61%) of Rural Roads; 4,67,106 km (8.54%) of Urban Roads; and 3,01,505 km (5.5%) of Project  Roads.    Percentages  in  parenthesis  are  with  respect  to  total  road  length.  The number  of  total  registered  vehicles  in  2005  was  81,499  thousands  and  in  2015  it  was 210,023  thousands.  Sustained  economic  growth  and  increased  disposable  income  of households have led to high rate of growth in the number of registered vehicles
- (c) to (e)   Keeping in view the requirements to enhance Road Safety, reduce congestions, improve road connectivity / conditions, the Ministry has taken decision to augment the National  Highways  Network  of  existing  1,20,144  km  (details  at  Annexure-I).    About 57,200 km length of State Roads have been approved 'In-Principle' for their declaration

as new National Highways subject to outcome of their Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) and initiatives  have  been  taken  for  their  DPR  preparations.    Ministry  has  also  reduced threshold traffic for 4-laning of NHs from 15,000; 11,000; and 8,000 Passenger Car Units (PCUs)  per day to 10,000; 8,500 and 6,000 PCUs/day  for  Plain, Rolling, and Mountainous/Steep Terrains respectively.   Decisions have been taken to entrust 4-laning of  all  such  NHs  to  the  National  Highways  Authority  of  India  (NHAI)  for  their implementation  through  additional  market  borrowings,  etc.,  in  a  phased  manner  by leveraging limited available budgetary allocation.
