## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

(SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

- (a) to (d) A statement is laid on the Table of the House.

(a) to  (d)     The  funds accrued under the Central Road Fund (CRF) during 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 were Rs. 19,263 crore, Rs. 26,108 crore and Rs. 69,809 crore (provisional) respectively.

This  Ministry  is  primarily  responsible  for  development  and  maintenance  of  National Highways (NHs).

Apart from this, the Ministry also allocates funds for development of State Roads (non Rural Roads)  and  Roads  of  Economic  Importance  and  Inter  State  Connectivity  (EI&ISC)  as  per  the provisions of the CRF Act, 2000 amended by the Finance Act from time to time. Year wise details of accrual/allocation of funds to States / Union Territories (UTs) and expenditure/release of funds under these schemes during the last three years are at Annexure-I.

The  State-wise  details  of  projects  approved  /  sanctioned  for  development  of  State  Roads under CRF and EI & ISC Schemes during the last three years, including for the States of Kerala and Rajasthan, are at Annexure-II & Annexure-III respectively.

The funds for development of State roads under CRF scheme are allocated to the States/UTs on  the  basis  of  30  percent  weightage  to  fuel  consumption  and  70  percent  weightage  to  the geographical area.  The fund under CRF is non-lapsable.

The  Annual  allocation  of  funds  under  CRF  (State  Roads)  scheme  and  under  EI  &ISC schemes was about Rs. 2,910 crore and about Rs. 294 crore at Budget Estimate (BE) stage in 201516. However, the allocations have been significantly enhanced to Rs.10,993 crore and to Rs. 1,233 crore  for  works  under  CRF  (State  Roads)  scheme  and  under  EI  &ISC  schemes  at  BE  2016-17 respectively on account of increase in cess on petrol and high speed diesel (HSD) oil from Rs. 2 per litre to Rs. 6 per litre.
