THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

(SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

(a)to(d)   Government in the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways is primarily responsible for development and maintenance of National  Highways  (NHs). Additionally,  Government  takes  up development  and  maintenance  of  State  Roads  as  per  the  criteria under the amended CRIF Act, 2000, which provides for finalization of the list of projects prioritized by State Governments / UTs within the  framework  of  PM  Gati  Shakti  National  Master  Plan,  being  the guiding principle for identification, sanction and implementation of Projects. Administrative Approval, Technical Approval and Financial Sanction of projects of the approved list is given by concerned State Governments/ UTs, with permissible excess cost of upto 10 percentage  over  approved  cost.  Further  responsibility  for  Project implementation lies with the concerned State / UT Government, with Project  monitoring  and  quality  control  of  works  to  be  done  at State/UT  level  at  regular  intervals  ensuring  timely  completion  of works.
