Alloc. -Allocation; Expd. - Expenditure

Expenditure in some states was in excess against their allocation, however total expenditure in the country was well within the Ministry's overall Budgetary allocation available under the relevant budget head.

*- Negative allocation is reflected as funds were re-appropriated from State PWD to NHAI. However, the State/UT wise allocation was not reduced.

## #- Expenditure included in State/UT wise

Allocation of PR/IRQP is not included in the above statement. PR/IRQP is funded from NH(O) from 2021-22.

Alloc. -Allocation; Expd. - Expenditure Expenditure in some states was in excess against their allocation, however total expenditure in the country was well within the Ministry's overall Budgetary allocation available. $- Erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir State before reorganisation to State of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh UT ^- Erstwhile UTs before merger *- Negative allocation is reflected as funds were re-appropriated from State PWD to NHAI/NHIDCL due to lower expenditure being incurred. However, the State/UT wise allocation was not reduced due to sanction purposes. #- Expenditure included in State/UT wise

Allocation and expenditure in the above statement includes PR/IRQP which is funded from NH(O) from 2021-22. Therefore, total allocation is greater than total outlay of M&R.
