………………………………………………………………………………………………………

- (a)  to  (b)  Yes  sir,    The  details  of  amendments  and  modifications  made  in  the  Toll  Operate Transfer (TOT) model are as under:-
- (i) National Highways Authority of India has been authorized to monetize public funded NH projects which are operational and are collecting toll for at least one year after the COD through the Toll Operate Transfer (TOT) basis instead of two years, as approved earlier by the CCEA.
- (ii) NHAI  has  been  authorized  to  vary  the  Concession  Period  between  15  to  30  years depending on project features instead of 30 years, as approved earlier by CCEA.

The  above  amendments  have  resulted  in  expansion  of  the  project  base  available  with NHAI as well as investor base for monetization of NHs and have also ensured faster decision making.

- (c) As on date,  the  first  bundle  of  TOT  Projects  comprising  10  project  stretches  has  been monetized by NHAI.  An amount of Rs. 9681.50 crore was generated and has been deposited in Consolidated Fund of India on 28.08.2018 (2018-19).
