- (a) The National Highways (NHs) constructed/being constructed under various modes during each of the last three years and the current year along with the expenditure incurred thereon is as below:
- (b) There is no lack of funds. However, some projects are delayed/stalled due to inadequate liquidity of funds by contractors/concessionaires. The details are  annexed.
- (c) The  average  pace  of  construction  is  more  than  16  km  per  day  at  present  which  is proposed to increase to 30 km per day to meet the requirement of the road network.
- (d) The steps taken to speed up the road projects including pumping of funds to end financial constraints are as under :
-  By way of granting permission of 100% equity divestment after two years of completion of the  projects  with  the  condition  to  invest  such  divested  amount  in  their  other  incomplete NHAI's projects awarded on PPP model.
-  On the recommendations of NHAI, Government has accorded approval for one time infusion of  funds  by  NHAI  so  that  projects  which  are  not  able  to  reach  completion  due  to  lack  of promoter equity and / or bank debt can be offered such funding so that the project can get completed and start earning toll revenue in respect of projects awarded on PPP model. This is applicable to both BOT(Toll) and BOT (Annuity) projects.
-  On  the  recommendations  of  NHAI,  Reserve  Bank  of  India  has  directed  the  Financial Institutions  to  consider  loans  to  Highway  projects  as  secured  to  the  extent  covered  by termination payment provisions in respect of projects awarded on PPP model.
-  Permitted deferment of premium / revenue share in respect of 20 NHs projects awarded on PPP model for their speedy completion.
-  Extension of the scheduled completion date for the delays not attributable to the concessionaire in both BOT (Toll) and BOT (Annuity) projects to facilitate/revival of such projects., etc.
