Answers
Answer:
Roads are an important mode of transport in India. India has a network of over 5,603,293 kilometres (3,481,725 mi) of roads as of 31 March 2016. This is the second-largest road network in the world, after the United States with 6,702,178 kilometres (4,164,540 mi).[2] At 1.70 kilometres (1.06 mi) of roads per square kilometre of land, the quantitative density of India's road network is higher than that of Japan (0.91 km, 0.57 mi) and the United States (0.99 km, 0.62 mi), and substantially higher than that of China (0.46 km, 0.29 mi), Brazil (0.18 km, 0.11 mi) and Russia (0.08 km, 0.050 mi).[2] Adjusted for its large population, India has approximately 4.63 kilometres (2.88 mi) of roads per 1,000 people. Qualitatively, India's roads are a mix of modern highways and narrow, unpaved roads, and are being improved.[3] As of 31 March 2016, 62.5% of Indian roads were paved.[2]
Since the 1990s, major efforts have been underway to modernize the country's road infrastructure.[3][4] The length of national highways in India has increased from 70,934 km (44,076 mi) in 2010–11 to 101,011 km (62,765 mi) in 2015–16.[2] As of May 2017, India had completed and placed into use over 28,900 kilometres (18,000 mi) of recently built four- or six-lane highways connecting many of its major manufacturing, commercial and cultural centres.[5] According to Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, as of March 2016, India had about 101,011 kilometres (62,765 mi) of national highways and expressways, plus another 176,166 kilometres (109,464 mi) of state highways.[2] Major projects are being implemented under the National Highways Development Project, a government initiative. Private builders and highway operators are also implementing major projects – for example, the Yamuna Expressway between Delhi and Agra was completed ahead of schedule and within budget,[6] while the KMP Expressway, started in 2006, is far behind schedule, over budget and incomplete.[7]
According to 2009 estimates by Goldman Sachs, India will need to invest US$1.7 trillion on infrastructure projects before 2020 to meet its economic needs, a part of which would be in upgrading India's road network.[8] The investment in national highways increased from ₹14,095.87 crore (US$2.0 billion) in 2005–06 to ₹98,988.06 crore (US$14 billion) in 2015–16.[2] During the same period the total investment in national highways was ₹476,589.37 crore (US$69 billion). The Government of India is attempting to promote foreign investment in road projects.[8][9][10] Foreign participation in construction of the Indian road network has attracted 45 international contractors and 40 design/engineering consultants, with Malaysia, South Korea, United Kingdom and United States being the countries with the most involvement.[11]
