Ex-Ante Evaluation (for Japanese ODA Loan)Oda Loan Agreement • March 8th, 2013
Contract Type FiledMarch 8th, 2013In 2009-10, the road network in India, which broadly includes national highways, state highways, major district roads and rural roads, carried 85 per cent of the total passenger movement and 63 per cent of total freight movement. In 2012, the National Highways in India constitute 76,818 kilometers, or about 2 percent of the total 4.11 million kilometers of national road network. However, they bear about 40 percent of transportation on the road network as a whole. In such a scenario, improving the new national highways and widening existing ones to meet the growing demand for road transportation is an urgent issue. Moreover, developing outworn road facilities such as old bridges and improving traffic conditions around the congested downtowns by developing bypasses are the other issues for better mobility and accessibility.
