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

- (a)  to  (f)      The  Government  in  the  Ministry  of  Road  Transport  & Highways is primarily responsible for the development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs). The Government receives

proposals from various State Governments/Union Territories, including  the  Government  of  Andhra  Pradesh,  for  declaration  of State roads as National Highways and for development of existing NH stretches.

The declaration of State roads as National Highways are considered from  time  to  time  based  on  the  criteria  such  as  connectivity requirements,  traffic  density  and  synergy  with  the  PM  Gati  Shakti National Master Plan.

At present, no specific proposal for declaration of State Highway as new National  Highway,  including  connectivity  between  NH-44  and NH-40 in Nandyal district, is under consideration.

However, details of ongoing National Highway projects in Nandyal district and Rayalaseema region in the State of Andhra Pradesh are annexed.
