## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI KAMLESH PASWAN)

- (a) & (b): The  total  number  of  rural  road  projects  sanctioned, completed  and  pending  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  SadakYojana (PMGSY) in the country during last five years, State and Year wise including Kerala and AlathurLokSabha Constituency may be accessed  at  programme  website  www.omms.nic.in  >  Progress Monitoring > State MPR Abstract Report.
- (c): Out of total sanctioned length of 8,25,384 Km under PMGSY, total 7,60,471 Km has already been completed till 31.07.2025 under various interventions of PMGSY. A total of 47,727 Km is balance to be  constructed  at  various  stages  of  execution.  The  timeline  for

completion of ongoing projects under PMGSY III has been revised from March, 2025 to March, 2026 based on requests received from several States.

The reasons for delay in completion of some projects are delay in award of projects by the State, delay in forest clearance, lack of response  by  contractors  and  difficult  working  conditions  for  a number of projects, especially those falling in areas affected by leftwing extremism.

State Governments are advised through various Regional Review meetings, Performance Review Committee meetings & Empowered Committee  meetings  to  take  necessary  action  to  expedite  timely completion of road works under PMGSY. The following steps in this regard have been taken by the Ministry:

- i. States  have  been  requested  to  augment  executing  capacity and contracting capacity and their compliance in this regard is regularly reviewed.
2. ii.
3. Bidding document provisions have been rationalized.
- iii. Training is imparted to field engineers and contractors as well as their staff for capacity building.
- iv. Regular and structured review of physical & financial parameters is  conducted  at  regular  interval  in  various  zones
6. for a cluster of states of that zone.
7. (d): The Union Cabinet on 11 th September, 2024 approved implementation  of  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  SadakYojana  -  IV (PMGSY-IV)  during  FY  2024-25  to  2028-29.  Under  the  programme, financial assistance is to be provided for the construction of 62,500 Kms road for providing new connectivity to eligible 25,000 unconnected habitations of population size 500+ in plains, 250+ in NE  &  Hill  Sates/UTs,  special  category  areas  (Tribal  Schedule  V, Aspirational  Districts/Blocks,  Desert  areas)  and  100+  in  Left  Wing Extremism (LWE) affected districts as per Census 2011 and construction/ upgradation of bridges on the new connectivity roads. Total outlay of this scheme will be Rs. 70,125 crore. The PMGSY-IV Guidelines have been formulated and circulated to all States/ UTs during December, 2024.

Under PMGSY, maintenance of rural roads is the responsibility of  the  State/  UT  Governments.  The  Ministry  had  issued  guidelines for maintenance of roads constructed under the programme. Under PMGSY, roads are covered under a 5-year maintenance contract to be  entered  into  along  with  a  construction  contract  with  the  same

contractor as per the Standard Bidding Document (SBD). Since the design  life  of  PMGSY  roads  is  ten  years,  the  States  have  to undertake further five years of maintenance. A MoU has been signed with States/UTs to emphasize on maintenanceof roads constructed under  PMGSY.  The  Ministry  has  alsoimplemented  e-MARG  i.e. software module for maintenance payments to the contractor during the defect liability period. The post five-year construction module of eMARG  incorporates  initial  rehabilitation,  renewal,  pre-  renewal routine  maintenance,  post-renewal  maintenance  and  emergency repair works, as required. Maintenance  funds to service the contract are required to be budgeted by the State Governments and placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  State  Rural  Roads  Development Agencies (SRRDAs) in a separate maintenance account. On expiry of  this  5  year  postconstruction  maintenance,  PMGSY  roads  are required to be placed under Zonal maintenance contracts consisting of 5 year maintenance including renewal as per cycle, from time to time.

(e): The  details  of  the  central  share  of  funds  released  by  the Government of India for implementation of PMGSY and expenditure incurred (including State share) during each of the last three years State-wise are given as Annexure.
