Present National Highways Comprises About 1.9 % of Total Road Network And Carries Around 40% of Total Road Traffic
The Development and maintenance of NHs is a continuous process. The works on NHs are, accordingly, taken up from time to time as per available resources, inter-se priority and traffic density. The Ministry is primarily responsible for development and maintenance of National Highways (NHs). As per the latest issue of the Basic Road Statistics of India (2013-14 and 2014-15) published by the Transport Research Wing (TRW) of the Ministry in September, 2016, during 2005 to 2015, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for NHs and the total Road network in India were about 4.1% and 3.7% respectively; the registered motor vehicles grew at a CAGR of 9.9% during the same period. The existing NHs comprise of about 1.9 % of total road network of about 54.72 lakh km length and carry about 40% of total road traffic.
Keeping in view the requirements to enhance Road Safety, reduce congestions, improve road connectivity and conditions, the Ministry has taken decision to augment the NHs Network of existing 1,03,613 km. About 47,890 km length of State Roads have been approved “In-Principle” for their declaration as new NHs subject to outcome of their Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) and initiatives have been taken for their DPR preparations. Further, the Ministry has reduced threshold traffic for 4-laning of NHs from 15000, 11000, and 8000 Passenger Car Units (PCUs) per day to 10000, 8500 and 6000 PCUs/day for Plain, Rolling, and Mountainous and Steep Terrains respectively.
