Generally, the period of construction is kept as 2 to 3 years.

Alloc. -Allocation; Expd. - Expenditure Authorizations were made to incur expenditure on purely 'First Come First Serve' basis subject to the condition that total overall expenditure does not exceed total allocation made during that Financial Year to ensure that there are least surrender of funds. Therefore, expenditure for some States have been more than the allocation made during that Financial Year. *- Negative allocation is reflected as funds were re-appropriated from NHDP-IV (State PWD) to NHAI. However, the State/UT wise allocation was not reduced. @- Expenditure included in State/UT wise $- State/UT wise allocations not made Allocation of PR/IRQP is not included in the above statement. PR/IRQP is funded from NH(O) from 2021-22.

^- Separate allocation not made
