Improvement and expansion of road network across the country

The Ministry is primarily responsible for development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs). NH network in the country has expanded from about 1,32,995 km in March, 2020 to about 1,46,145 km at present.

A number of schemes have been implemented by the Ministry for development of NHs in the country such as Bharatmala Pariyojana including subsumed National Highways Development Project (NHDP), Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for North-East Region (SARDP-NE), Special Programme for development of Roads in Left Wing Extremism affected Area (LWE) including Development of Vijayawada-Ranchi Road and Externally Aided Projects (EAPs). NHs stretches not covered under any of the above schemes are taken up for development under National Highway Original [NH(O)] works depending upon traffic density, condition of road, inter-se priority and availability of funds.

Development of NHs works is taken up through executing agencies e.g. National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd. (NHIDCL), Border Roads Organization (BRO), National Highways Logistics Management Limited (NHLML) and State Governments. Majority of expenditure are incurred by NHAI and NHIDCL. Year-wise details of funds allocated and expenditure incurred / funds released for development of NHs during each of the last three years under Schemes / Agencies are placed at Annexure-IA.

For works being executed through State Governments, State / Union Territory (UT) - wise details of funds allocated and expenditure incurred for development of NHs during each of the last three years are placed at Annexure-IB.

NHs projects in about 36,071 km have been taken up during the last three years, including NHs projects in about 2,709 km taken up in the State of Uttar Pradesh.

About 34,115 km length of NHs has been constructed during the last three years, including 2,383 km constructed in the State of Uttar Pradesh.
