Arun Jaitley allocates Rs 55,000 crore to the road sector for 2016-17

01 Mar 2016 Evaluate

In a major push to the roads sector, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in his budget for the financial year 2016-17 has allocated Rs 55000 crore to the sector. This will be further topped up by additional 15,000 crore to be raised by National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) through tax free bonds. Thus the total investment in the road sector, including Pradhanmatri Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY) allocation, would be Rs 97,000 crore during 2016-17.

Further the Minister has announced that road transport in the passenger segment would be opened up to the private sector. Jaitley also said amendments would be made in Motor vehicle act to get more participation from private sector. He said focus would be to end permit raj to make the sector more transparent.

Besides, the government will award nearly 10,000 kms of National Highways in 2016-17. This will be much higher than in the two previous years. In addition, nearly 50,000 kms of State highways will also be taken up for up-gradation as National Highways.

In 2015, India’s highest ever kilometres of new highways were awarded. At the same time, India’s highest ever production of motor vehicles was also achieved in 2015. This is a sign of growth in the economy; but it presents a challenge also.
