## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS (SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

- (a)  The  actual  average  per-kilometre  civil  construction  cost  is  about  Rs.  24 crores and Land acquisition including pre-construction activities is about Rs. 8.3 crores. At the time of approval, civil construction cost of about Rs. 4.9 lakh Crores and LA cost of Rs. 45,000 Crore was estimated to develop 34,800 km of National Highways in Bharatmala Phase-I.

The major reasons for  cost  escalation  in  Civil  cost  include  higher  lane configuration to provide superior connectivity, higher proportion of economic corridors  and  expressways,  improvement  in  design  standards  over  time  and increase  in  price  of  raw  material.  Further,  key  reasons  for  increase  in  Land

Acquisition  cost  included  higher  determination  of  compensation,  higher  lane km compared to the initial plan and revision of Right of Way (RoW) norms.

Out  of  the  approved  length  of  34,800  km  of  Bharatmala  Pariyojana, Projects covering a total length of 26,425 km have been awarded and 21,783 km have been constructed as of December 2025.  Bharatmala Pariyojana has been  discontinued  since  November  2023  with  only  awarded  projects  being taken up for completion.

The  actual  expenditure  incurred  on  Bharatmala  Pariyojana  Phase-I  till 31 st  January, 2026 is Rs. 5,30,758.24 Crore.

- (b)    The details are annexed.
- (c)     The  primary  reasons  for  delay  leading  to  time  and  cost  overrun  in National  Highway  (NH)  projects  are  issues  /  bottlenecks  relating  to  land acquisition, delay in getting statutory clearances / permissions, utility shifting, encroachment removal, law & order, non-availability of construction material/ minerals, poor performance of Contractor / Concessionaire, and Force Majeure events  like  Covid-19  pandemic,  heavy  rainfall,  floods,  cyclone,  landslides  / avalanches, etc.

Cost-overrun  is  not  incurred  in  all  delayed  projects.  If  delay  is  not attributable to the Contractor, price escalation as per defined formula is paid as  per  contract  conditions,  which  may  or  may  not  result  in  additional  cost, depending upon final value of price escalation determined on actual completion and final settlement of bills after expiry of the project contract/concession period. If delay is attributable to the Contractor, damages are imposed and there is no additional cost due to delay. 36 number of under construction major NH projects were terminated during last three FY inter-alia including  delay  in  project  implementation,  prior  to  achieving  any  of  the completion stages.

- (d)    The delay of the project is mainly due to delay in pre-construction activity including land acquisition and various clearances. During the project execution, delay also occurs due to contractor default, financial issues with the  Concessionaire  etc.  The  delays  are  analysed  on  case-to-case  basis  and remedial  measures  in  accordance  with  the  relevant  contract/concession agreement are taken including levying of penalty/liquidated damages, termination  of  contract  or  settlement  of  the  dispute  through  conciliation mechanism etc.
- (e)    Safety and Quality audits are conducted across the project life cycle i.e. during  Detailed  Project  Report  (DPR)  stage,  construction  stage  as  also  post

construction stage by mobilising the Road Safety Auditor, Road Safety Expert under  Independent  Engineer  Contract,  review  of  various  provisions  of  the scope  through  engagement  of  pier  review  expert  as  also  by  engagement  of independent  experts  like  Central  Road  Research  Institute  (CRRI)  /  Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) etc. The findings of the experts are examined and due corrective action taken to resolve the safety/quality issues.

ANNEXURE  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PART  (b)  OF  LOK  SABHA  UNSTARRED QUESTION  NO.  1025  ANSWERED  ON  05 TH   FEBRUARY,  2026  ASKED  BY  ADV  PRIYA SAROJ  AND  SHRI  PUSHPENDRA  SAROJ REGARDING  'COMPLETION  OF  PROJECTS UNDER BHARATMALA PHASE-I'.

The issue was resolv  ed on 21.02.2024 as APPDC  L in-principle accepted to s  upply the pond ash at free o  f cost and also to bear the l  oading and transportation c  harges for the subject proje  ct. APPDCL started supplyin  g Pond ash to the site from  07.02.2024. Accordingly, EO  T to the EPC Contractor wa  s accorded upto 31.08.2025  and Settlement Agreement i  n this regard was signed on  02.05.2025.

Further, Secretary, M  oRTH has also written DO le  tter dated 29.08.2025 to CS,  GoAP for early resolution of  the  issue.  Recently,  M/s  APGENCO  on  13.09.2025  has  issued  purc  hase order for the supply of  pond ash  to  a  new  agency.  The  Agency  started  supplyi  ng Pond Ash to the site from  15.12.2025.
