## ANSWER

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

## (SHRI MANSUKH L. MANDAVIYA)

(a) to (c) The  Ministry  is  primarily  responsible  for  development  and  maintenance  of National Highways (NHs). Apart from this, the Ministry also allocates funds for development of State  Roads  under  the  Central  Road  Fund  (CRF)  Scheme  and  Economic  Importance  (EI)  and Inter State Connectivity (ISC) Scheme as per the provisions of the CRF Act, 2000 amended by the Finance Act from time to time.

The development and maintenance of NHs is a continuous process and works on NHs in States / Union Territories (UTs) are, accordingly, taken up as per inter-se-priority, progress of ongoing works, availability of  funds and traffic  density. The allocation  of funds are made for States / UTs accordingly.

The  funds  for  development  of  State  roads  under  CRF  scheme  are  allocated  to  the States/UTs on the basis of 30 percent weightage to fuel consumption and 70 percent weightage to the geographical area.

For works taken up under CRF scheme, one third of annual allocation of the State/ UT is released for utilization against sanctioned work and this amount is maintained as a reserve by replenishing the expenditure from subsequent releases; subsequent releases of funds are made to the  States/  UTs  based  on  submission  of  Utilization  Certificates  (UCs)  of  previous  releases subject to the condition that the total amount released for any State/ UT during the year does not exceed the total allocation for that year in respect of that State/ UT and the amount of unspent balance of previous years'.

The funds for State Roads under EI & ISC Schemes are allocated keeping in view the committed liabilities, progress of works, inter-se priority, availability of funds, etc.

(d) State /Union Territory (UT)-wise details of NH projects delayed by less than one year, between one to three years and more than three years are annexed.

(e) State Governments have been requested to constitute Coordination / Steering Committees at State level to resolve the project related pending issues. Regular meetings are held with project developers  /  concessionaires  /  contractors  and  State  Governments  by  the  Ministry  /  National Highways  Authority  of  India  (NHAI)  /  National  Highways  and  Infrastructure  Development Corporation  Ltd.  (NHIDCL)  to  make  the  construction  of  projects  hassle  free.  To  expedite completion of these projects various steps have been taken which include  streamlining of land acquisition & environment clearances, exit for equity investors, premium re-schedulement, close coordination with other Ministries, revamping of dispute resolution mechanism, frequent reviews at various levels, etc.

The Ministry has developed a Web Portal (BhoomiRashi) for processing land acquisition notifications and payment of compensation thereof to the rightful owner of the land. Competent Authority  for  Land  Acquisition  (CALA)  offices  have  been  strengthened  with  additional manpower and infrastructure. Further, detailed comprehensive guidelines for Land Acquisition under NH Act, 1956 has been issued by the Ministry to all its implementation agencies, State Governments and UTs on 28th December, 2017 for smooth implementation of NH projects.
