*Upto 31.12.2024

| 2021-22  | 13,944                  | 13,944                   |
| 2022-23  | 21,453                  | 21,453                   |
| 2023-24  | 28,114                  | 28,114                   |
| 2024-25* | 15,598                  | 13,378                   |

The Maintenance and Repair (M&R) of NH  stretches, where development  works  have  commenced  or  Operation,  Maintenance  and Transfer (OMT) Concessions / Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Contracts  have  been  awarded,  are  the  responsibility  of  the  concerned Concessionaires / Contractors till the end of Defect Liability Period (DLP) / Concession Period.

For  the  remaining  NH  stretches,  Government  has  taken  policy decision  to  undertake  maintenance  works  either  through  Performance based Maintenance Contract (PBMC) or through Short term Maintenance Contract.

Regular  review  meetings  are  held  at  various  levels  with  State Government, executing agencies (such as National Highways Authority of India and State PWD) and concessionaires/contractors to ensure taking up of  corrective  actions  and  expedite  progress  of  these  works.  Other initiatives taken include expediting land acquisition, removal of hindrances in acquired land, various clearances (such as from Irrigation Department, Railways) with active participation of concerned departments/ organizations of State / Central Government.
