and repair (M&R) of National Highways (NHs) during the current year including Haryana and Madhya Pradesh are placed at Annexure-IA. Apart from this, details of funds allocated and expenditure incurred / funds released to different Agencies [National Highways Authority of India  (NHAI),  National  Highways  &  Infrastructure  Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) and Border Roads Organisation (BRO)] for M&R of NHs during the current year are placed at Annexure-IB.

- (c) and (d) Development  and  maintenance  of  NHs  is  a  continuous process.

Various types of M&R works taken up on NHs include Ordinary Repairs  (OR),  Periodical  Renewals  (PR),  Special  Repairs  (SR)  and

Flood Damage Repairs (FDR).

The M&R of stretches of NHs, where either 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  Defect  Liability  Period  (DLP)  /  the  Concession Period.

M&R of balance stretches of NHs are carried out regularly as per available budgetary outlay, inter-se priority and traffic density to keep such NHs in traffic worthy condition.

Further, the Ministry has decided that, from 2023-24 onwards, all maintenance works on NHs are to be carried out primarily through Performance based Maintenance Contract (PBMC) / Short Term (1year)  Maintenance  Contract  only.  Consequently,  all  NHs  stretches are to be invariably covered under ongoing works of development or maintenance or Defect Liability Period (DLP), with the responsibility of  maintenance  of  such  NHs  stretches  lying  with  the  concerned

Contractor /Concessionaire.

- (e) The  Officers  of  the  Ministry  and  various  Executing  Agencies (viz. State Public Works Departments, NHAI, NHIDCL and BRO) carry out regular assessment of conditions of NHs from time to time. In addition, road condition assessment is also being carried out by the Network Survey Vehicle for the NH stretches before start of work /

project  and  thereafter  at  regular  intervals.  Accordingly,  further necessary actions are taken up for maintenance of the NHs.
