The Ministry had taken up detailed review of NHs network with a view to develop the road connectivity to Border areas, development of Coastal roads including road connectivity for NonMajor  ports,  improvement  in  the  efficiency  of  National  Corridors, development  of  Economic  Corridors,  Inter  Corridors  and  Feeder Routes along with integration with Sagarmala, etc., under 'Bharatmala Pariyojana'. Under this proposal, the Ministry identified stretches for development of about 26,200 km length of Economic Corridors, 8,000 km of Inter Corridors, 7,500 km of Feeder Routes, 5,300  km  Border  and  International  connectivity  roads,  4,100  km Coastal and Port connectivity roads, 1,900 km  Expressways, National  Corridor  Efficiency  improvement  by  development  of  ring roads around 28 cities, decongestion of about 125 choke points and 66 congestion points, development of 35 nos. of Multimodal Logistics Parks.

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved the  proposal  for  investment  approval  for  Phase-I  of  'Bharatmala Pariyojana'  during  its  meeting  held  on  24.10.2017.  'Bharatmala Pariyojana' Phase-I includes development of about 9,000 km length of Economic corridors, about 6,000 km length of Inter-corridor and feeder roads, about 5,000 km length of National Corridors Efficiency improvements inter-alia entailing development of ring roads/ bypasses,  etc.,  for  decongestion  of  choke  points/  congestions points, about 2,000 km length of Border and International connectivity  roads,  about  2,000  km  length  of  Coastal  and  port connectivity  roads,  about  800  km  length  of  Expressways  and balance length of about 10,000 km of roads under NHDP.

The State/UT wise details of accrual/ allocation of funds and the  funds  released/  expenditure  incurred  under  CRIF  and  EI&ISC during  last  three  years  is  placed  at  Annexure-II  and  Annexure-III respectively.

- (c) The Ministry keeps on receiving proposals from various State Governments/Union Territories (UTs), etc.,  for  declaration  of  State roads,  including  State  Highways  (SHs),  as  new  National  Highways (NHs).  The  Ministry  considers  declaration  of  some  State  roads  as new NHs from time to time based on requirement of connectivity, inter-se priority and availability of funds. The Ministry had devised an 11 point criteria for declaration of State roads as new NHs. the main criteria for declaration State roads as new NHs included the roads  running  through  length  /  breadth  of  the  country,  connecting adjacent  countries,  roads  linking  National  Capital  with  the  State Capitals,  connecting  one  state  capital  with  another  state  capital, major  ports,  non-major  ports,  large  industrial  centers  or  tourist centers, roads meeting very important and critical strategic requirements in hilly and isolated areas, arterial roads which enable sizeable reduction in travel distance and achieve substantial economic  growth  thereby,  roads  which  help  in  opening  up  large tracts of backward areas and hilly regions (other than strategically important ones), achieving a National Highways grid, and above all, roads with high traffic density, and the availability of Right of Way etc.
