be pleased to state:

- (d) if so, the various alternatives proposed by the Ministry to manage requisite funding?

## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

## (SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

(a ) to (d) Budgetary allocation of the Ministry during the year 2019-20 is Rs. 83,015.97 crore.  Apart  from  the  above,  National  Highways  Authority  of  India  (NHAI)  has  been authorized to raise Rs. 75,000 crore as Internal and Extra Budgetary Resources (IEBR).

There has been a decline in the private sector participation due to various factors such as non-availability of equity with Concessionaires, difficulties in getting financing from Financial  Institutions,  failure  of  projects  awarded  during  2010-11  &  2011-12,  etc.  The Ministry took initiatives thereafter to implement projects primarily on EngineeringProcurement-Construction (EPC) mode and Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) of Contracting. For projects awarded on HAM, 40% of the Project Cost is paid by Government/ NHAI as contribution support / grant to the Private Developer and the balance 60% is arranged by the successful bidder in lieu of deferred Annuity Payments during Concession Period.

Government has also taken initiatives for raising funds through monetization of completed  road  projects  on  Toll-Operate-Transfer  (TOT)  mode.  Further  NHAI  has  been authorized to raise funds through Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT) and securitization of toll  revenue  so  as  to  get  long  term  borrowing  from  Banks,  etc.  These  measures  have successfully enabled mobilization of additional resources.
