15 Jun 2018 Evaluate

The Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that 280 national highway projects would be completed before the Lok Sabha elections next year. These include 127 National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) projects and 153 ministry projects, which were scheduled for completion by June 2019. In addition, he said that there are about 100 projects that are going to be completed by December 2018.

For the current financial year (FY19), the Minister said the construction target of NHAI has also been revised upwards from 5,058 km to 6,000 km. the Government is expected to surpass the target of 40 km a day of road building by March 2019. At present, the rate of road building is about 27 km a day. He further said that these infrastructure projects are aimed at fast-tracking schemes to deliver world-class amenities to people with no ‘political interest’.

Pointing out that delayed land acquisition, lack of timely clearances, and other factors led to delays in project, Gadkari said steps are being taken to address these issues. He highlighted that the performance of Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh in sorting out these issues and helping expedite the highways projects. States like Bihar and Odisha on the other hand, need to greatly improve their performance in this regard. The projects of Maharashtra and the Northeastern states remain to be reviewed.

The Minister also stated that while the modern road infrastructure and expressways are coming up and several are existent, the government will now consider scraping the policy of mandatory speed Governors in all new transport vehicles. Speed governors limit commercial vehicles to a maximum speed of 80 kmph.
