Road transportation system move goods and people to facilitate production and trade. The elements of road transport are vital to the cost of trade, the global competitiveness of the country and its development prospects. Road transport has grown in importance with the mode accounting for an increasing share in the conveyance of passengers and goods in the overland traffic. The total length of classified road networks in India as at the end March 2011 is placed at 4.7 million km of which little 53.8% are paved. A noteworthy aspect has been the step up in the expansion of National Highway network in recent years which has shown more than two fold jump from 33,650 kms in 1991 to 76,818 kms in India's road density averages about 1.42 km of road length per square km of land and is much higher compared to USA (0.67 km/sq.km) and China (0.40 km/sq.km). The need to promote road connectivity across the country and maintain road infrastructure poses an enormous challenge. It is noteworthy that growth in motor vehicle population during 2001 to 2011 of around 10% has outstripped the modest growth in the roads network of 3.3%. This has resulted in the saturation of road capacities on many a stretches. Rehabilitation and construction of new roads are essential to provide sufficient, safe and efficient transportation for passenger and goods and are vital for making the economy competitive and for sustaining a high rate of growth. The road development in many ways exemplifies both the challenge and opportunity in infrastructure development. The present volume of Basic Road Statistics of India gives comprehensive data for the years, and attempts to provide a wide range of information on the status of road development in India in terms of its geographical spread and various categories of roads in terms of National Highways, State Highways, District Roads, Rural Roads, etc. I hope that this document would be useful to administrator, policy makers and academia interested in the area of infrastructure development. In particular, the cooperation extended by the source agencies spread across various States and Union Territories is gratefully acknowledged. 6 th August, 2012 Transport Shawan, 1-Parliament Street, New Delhi :: Tel.: :: Fax: secy-road@nic.in :: Web:

The data provided in the present publication has been collected from over 280 source agencies spread all over the country. Obtaining data/information from a large number of source agencies is a time consuming exercise. It has been the endeavour of the Transport Research Wing to reduce the time gap in presenting the information. While the last issue of 'Basic Road Statistics of India' (brought out in July 2010) covered information on the Road Sector for the years and , the present issue gives information covering the years to The present issue offers comparable and consistent time series data on India's road network. The information is presented in 8 Sections of the publication. We very much appreciate the cooperation of source agencies for providing the data. We would welcome constructive suggestions from the users of the publication in improving its quality and coverage. The officers and staff of the Transport Research Wing deserve special mention for the considerable effort put in by them leading to the release of the publication.

8 Overview: Basic Road Statistics of India: 2009 to Introduction 1.1 Road network provides the arterial network to facilitate trade, transport, social integration and economic development. It facilitates specialization, extension of markets and exploitation of economies of scale. It is used for the smooth conveyance of both people and goods. Transportation by road has the advantage over other means of transport because of its easy accessibility, flexibility of operations, door-to-door service and reliability. Consequently, passenger and freight movement in India over the years have increasingly shifted towards roads vis-a-vis other means of transport. In , the road network in the country carried 85.2 per cent of the total passenger movement by roads and railways put together. Similarly, the corresponding figure for freight movement by roads was 62.9 per cent. 2. Growth in Road Length 2.1 The total road length in India increased more than 11 times during the 60 years between 1951 and From 3.99 lakh kilometre as on 31 st March 1951, the road length increased to lakh kilometres as on 31 st March 2011 (Chart 1). Concomitantly, the surfaced road length increased both in absolute and relative terms. The length of sufaced roads which was 1.57 lakh kilometres (39.35 per cent of total road length) as on 31 st March 1951 increased to lakh kilometres (53.83 per cent of total road length) as on 31 st March Chart 1: Total and Road Length in India: 1951 to road length in the country has expanded both in absolute and relative terms. While the total surfaced road length in India as on 31 st March 2009 was lakh kilometres, as on 31 st March 2010 and 2011, the corresponding figures were lakh kilometres and lakh kilometres, respectively. road length as a proportion of the total road network in the country increased from per cent as on 31 st March 2009 to per cent as on 31 st March 2010 to per cent as on 31 st March i

9 3. Category wise Growth in Road Length 3.1 The length of National Highways rose from 19,811 kilometres as on 31 st March 1951 to 70,934 kilometres as on 31 st March 2011 (Table 1) reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.1 per cent during the period. During the same period, the combined network of State Highways and Other Public Works Department (PWD) posted a seven-fold expansion in length. The combined length of State Highways and Other PWD roads stood at lakh kilometres as on 31 st March The highest CAGR of 4.4 per cent during 1951 to 2011 was registered by rural roads comprising Panchayati roads, and roads constructed under Jawahar Rozgar Yojana (JRY) and Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). The length of rural roads increased more than 13 times from 2.06 lakh kilometres in 1951 to lakh kilometres in Urban roads grew by a CAGR of 4.5 per cent between 1961 and Their length stood at 4.12 lakh kilometres as on 31 st March The length of Project roads grew by CAGR of 2 per cent during 1971 and 2011 and was 2.88 lakh kilometres as on 31 st March Table 1 - Road Network by Categories (in kilometres): 1951 to 2011 Road Category ,798 23,838 31,671 33,650 57,737 (4.54) (2.61) (2.13) (1.45) (1.71) National Highways 19,811 (4.95) 70,934* (1.51) State Highways 1,73,723 (43.44) 257,125 (49.02) 56,765 (6.20) 94,359 (6.35) 1,27,311 (5.47) 1,32,100 (3.99) 1,63,898 (3.49) Other PWD Roads ^ ^ 2,76,833 (30.26) 4,21,895 (28.40) 5,09,435 (21.89) 7,36,001 (21.82) 10,05,327 (21.43) Rural Roads 2,06,408 (51.61) 197,194 (37.60) 3,54,530 (38.75) 6,28,865 (42.34) 12,60,430 (54.16) 19,72,016 (58.46) 27,49,805 (58.63) Urban Roads 0 (0.00) 46,361 (8.84) 72,120 (7.88) 123,120 (8.29) 186,799 (8.03) 252,001 (7.12) 411,840 (8.78) Project Roads 0 (0.00) 0 (0.00) 1,30,893 (14.31) 1,85,511 (12.49) 2,09,737 (9.01) 2,23,665 (6.32) 2,88,539 (6.15) Total 3,99,942 5,24,478 9,14,979 14,85,421 23,27,362 33,73,520 46,90,342 Note: Figures within parentheses indicate per cent to total road length in each road category. *76,818 kilometres as on 31 st March 2012 ^ Included in State Highways The trend of growth of category-wise road length is depicted in Chart 2. ii

12 6. Road Network in terms of Broad Categories 6.1 In terms of share in total road length, rural roads constituted the largest share of 59 per cent as on 31 st March This was followed by Other PWD roads (21 per cent), Urban roads (9 per cent), Project roads (6 per cent), State Highways (3 per cent) and National Highways (2 per cent) (Chart 3). Chart 3: Road Length by Categories: Although National Highways constitute a small proportion of the total road length, they run across the length and breadth of the country and carry a high volume of the roadbased traffic. State Highways and Other PWD roads constitute the secondary system of road transportation in the country. The State Highways connect National Highways, district headquarters, important towns, tourist locations and minor ports. 7. National Highways 7.1 National Highways are the arterial roads of the country for inter-state movements of passengers and goods. They criss-cross the length and breadth of the country connecting the National and State capitals, major ports and rail junctions and link up with border roads (Chart 4). 7.2 The details of National Highways (State/Union Territory (UT)-wise) are presented in Section 2. All National Highways (NHs) are surfaced. As on 31 st March 2011, double lane NHs constituted more than 50 per cent of the total length of NHs, followed by four lane and above (24.22 per cent) and the balance single lane intermediate NHs formed per cent of the NH network. 7.3 As evident from Table 4, NHs of four or more lanes have increased both in absolute terms and as a proportion of total length of NHs. v

International Comparison of Road Network 14.1 The geographic coverage of India s highway network at 1.42 km of road length per square km of land is denser than that of USA (0.67 km/ sq km), and much higher than that of China (0.40 km/ sq. km) and Brazil (0.21 km/ sq. km) (Table 6). In India, expressways/motorways are around 227 km, while China s highway network consists of over 65,055 km of access controlled expressway, linking the major cities. The proportion of paved road length in India at per cent is much lower as compared to Japan, Korea, United Kingdom and United States of America. ix
