## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

## (SHRI PON. RADHAKRISHNAN)

(a)  The construction and maintenance of National Highways (NHs) including new national highways in the country is a continuous process and proposals for NHs construction are sanctioned on the basis of inter-se priority and availability of funds and traffic levels. The State/UT-wise details of the NHs constructed in the country during each of the last three years and the current year are at Annexure-I.

(b)  The State/UT-wise details of the funds allocated/utilized by the Government for construction of NHs in the country are at Annexure-II.

(c)  The  utilization  of  funds  in  a  particular  project  depends  on  the  mode  of  implementation  and  is governed under project specific concession agreement/contract agreement.  Monitoring is done by the project authorities, the HQs and at the highest level in the Ministry on a regular basis.

(d)  and  (e)  No  Madam.  The  National  Highways  are  constructed  as  per  the  IRC  guidelines  and Ministry's standard specifications for Roads and Bridge works by adopting e-tendering. Whenever there is a defect in the construction, the same is rectified by the contractor within the defects liability period.  Regular  Meetings  of  Infrastructure  Committee  headed  by  Minister  for  Shipping,  Road Transport & Highways are being taken for regular monitoring of projects. Apart from this, regular review  meetings  are  held  with  project  developers,  State  Governments  and  contractors  in  Head Quarter  as  well  as  in  field  offices  with  the  implementing  agencies  for  removing  hurdles  in  timely completion of projects.
