#  Projects  included  in  budget,  subject  to  obtaining  requisite  clearances. Execution of these projects will be taken up only after following due processes / mandatory approvals and sanctions

(b) to (e): Every Railway project requires a number of clearances from various Ministries  and  Departments  of  State/Central  Governments.  These,  inter-alia, include clearances  inherent to land acquisition, forestry  clearance  and permission for crossing from departments like National Highway Authority of India, Public Works Department, Irrigation canals etc. which are part of project execution.  Process of seeking the approvals/clearances and land acquisition are  some  of  the  main  factors  that  affect  the  pace  of  completion  of  the

projects.  In  addition,  as  per  the  prevailing  system,  funds  are  allocated  on yearly basis,  based on the Gross Budgetary Support from Ministry of Finance and    internal  generation  and    progress  of  land  acquisition.          Therefore, magnitude of time overrun and cost overruns cannot be quantified.

To  expedite  completion  of  projects,  Railways  have  arranged  additional funds by way of loan from Life Insurance Corporation for assured funding of capacity enhancement projects. Other measures taken to expedite completion are  prioritization  of  projects,  delegation  of  powers  at  field  level,  inviting  the State Governments to participate with Railways for resource mobilization for projects, nomination of nodal officers from Railways for improved co-ordination with the State Governments etc.
