- (a) The Ministry sets targets for award of contracts for development of National Highways (NHs) and monitors the achievement in terms of  length  in  km.  The  Ministry  has  awarded  contracts  averaging about 11,000 km per year during the previous 10 years (2014-15 to 2023-24)  as  compared  to  about  4,000  km  per  year  during  the  10 years  period  from  2004-05  to  2013-14,  which  means  the  award  of contracts  have  more  than  doubled.  For  the  current  financial  year (2024-25), the Ministry has set a provisional target of 12,900 km for award of projects on NHs.
- (b)  This  Ministry  is  primarily  responsible  for  development  and maintenance  of  National  Highways  (NHs).  The  development  and maintenance of NHs is a continuous process and works are taken up based on requirements of connectivity, inter-se priority, traffic density, and  availability of  resources. Currently  31  NH projects  including  projects  on  NH-75  and  NH-98,  with  aggregating length of 892 km are under construction in the State of Jharkhand. The details are at Annexure-I.

Further,  funds  are  allocated  to  State  Governments  /  Union Territories (UTs) for development and maintenance of State Roads under the Central Road & Infrastructure Fund (CRIF) Scheme as per the provisions of amended CRIF Act, 2000. Under this CRIF scheme, 15 projects with total length of 240 km are under construction. The details are at Annexure-II.

- (c) This Ministry leverages the mechanism of review and resolution of bottlenecks/hindrances in ongoing projects, in active collaboration with the State Governments and other stakeholders.
