## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (d) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 229 FOR ANSWER ON 27.12.2018 ASKED BY SHRI SHARAD TRIPATHI REGARDING NATIONAL HIGHWAY PROJECTS.

(a) to (d): There are six National Highways (NHs) projects pending due to environment clearance, details are given at Annexure-I. As Environmental Clearance (EC) is obtained prior  to  Appointed  Date,  the  question  of  cost  escalation  due  to  EC  does  not  arise. However, there is an inbuilt provision in the contract to provide cost escalation in Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) and Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects when  the  delay  is  attributable  to  the  Authority.  In  Public  Private  Partnership  (PPP) projects,  there  is  no  provision  of  cost  escalation.  The  Concessionaire  are  expected  to complete the project in the given time frame.

The details of length of NHs completed during the last three years and the current year are given in Annexure-II.
