State/Union  Territory  (UT)  wise  details  of  funds  allocated  and  expenditure  incurred/funds  released  for development of NHs during each of the last four years are placed at Annexure-I. Apart  from  this,  year-wise  details  of  funds  allocated  and  expenditure  incurred  / funds released under other Schemes/Agencies for development of NHs during each of the last four are placed at Annexure-II.

Unless  the  roads  are  constructed  as  per  the specifications, the contracts are not treated as complete. To ensure the construction  quality,  Consultants  (Authority's  Engineer/Independent  Engineer), Quality Monitors are appointed by the Ministry and its executing agencies for day to day supervision of the works at site. Deficiencies, if any, observed during such examination/supervision are brought to the notice of the Concessionaires/ Contractors for taking up necessary corrective measures.

Alloc. -Allocation; Expd. - Expenditure

Expenditure in some States is in excess against their allocation, however total expenditure in the country is well within the Ministry's overall Budgetary allocation.

Negative allocation is reflected as funds were re-appropriated from State PWD to NHAI / NHIDCL. 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 onwards.
