STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (f) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 213 ANSWERED ON 3 RD  AUGUST, 2023 ASKED BY SHRI THOMAS CHAZHIKADAN REGARDING ' MAINTENANCE OF NHs '

- (a)  The development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs) is a continuous  process  which  is  undertaken  based  on  the  requirement  of connectivity,  inter-se  priority  and  availability  of  funds.   In  the  process, works  are  undertaken  after  completion  of  project  preparation  and substantial completion of land acquisition process. There are total 12 Nos. of National Highways covering a length of 1858 km in the State of Kerala, out  of  which  total  765.516  Km  length  has  been  undertaken  for  works during the last three years and the current year.  NH-wise details of these works are enclosed at Annexure-I.
- (b) National Highways works on total 243.402 Km have been completed and 790.96 Km are under implementation on 4 Nos. of National Highways. Completion of works  as per schedule depends  on availability of encumbrance  free  land  and  required  statutory  clearances.   NH-wise details  of  works  completed  on  schedule,  delayed  works  along-with reasons and works under implementation are enclosed at Annexure-II.
- (c)  Mechanism of monitoring is already in place. Projects are regularly reviewed at various levels. Monitoring of pre-construction activities are regularly  taken  up  with  concerned  state  Government  Authorities  like District Administration, Land Acquisition Authority, Utility Owning Departments and Forest Department. Projects are further monitored at higher  levels  of  Administration  in  the  State  and  Central  Government. Monitoring of Construction activities is carried out by a dedicated Project Monitoring Consultant/ Authority Engineer for each Work.
- (d)  National  Highways Authority of India (NHAI) have constructed total 158.96 km of NHs in last three years and during the current year till June, 2023 in the State of Kerala. Year-wise details are enclosed at AnnexureIII.
- (e) Total expenditure of Rs. 14,128.58 Crores on development of NHs have been incurred in the State of Kerala in last three years and the current year.  Maintenance  and  Repair  (M&R)  works  are  responsibility  of  the concerned Concessionaires in PPP projects during concession period and that of EPC Contractors during Defect Liability Period (DLP). On remaining

stretches, the Government has incurred Rs. 331.04 Crore on M&R works in the last three years and the current year. Year-wise details are enclosed at Annexure-IV. (f) Yes, Sir. Major obstacles faced in implementation of NH projects are in pre-construction  activities  like  Land  acquisition  and  utility  Shifting. Projects of realignments, bypasses and widening are generally delayed due to these obstacles.
