UPADHYAY FOREWORD ~ SECRETARY \-lrof ~HCflJ{ GOVERNMENT OF INDIA ~Cf1 qf(cl~1 aih (I\ilqpf q~m.14 MINISTRY OF ROAD TRANSPORT & HIGHWAYS An extensive and a good road network is needed to spur growth and development. 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 2012. 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, 2009-2011 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-110 001 :: Tel.: 91-11-2371-4104 :: Fax: 91-11-2335-6669 E-mail: secy-road@nic.in :: Web: http://www.morth.nic.in

Jamnagar House, Shahjahan Road. ~ R'R11-110011, New Oelhi-110011 PREFACE The 'Basic Road Statistics of India' is a premier publication on the road sector providing comprehensive information on different categories of roads in the country, at the National, State and local (Municipal and Panchayat) levels. 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 2004-05 and 2007-08, the present issue gives information covering the years 2008-09 to 2010-11. 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.

Overview: Basic Road Statistics of India: 2009 to 2011 1. 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 2009-10, 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 2011. From 3.99 lakh kilometre as on 31 st March 1951, the road length increased to 46.90 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 25.25 lakh kilometres (53.83 per cent of total road length) as on 31 st March 2011. Chart 1: Total and Road Length in India: 1951 to 2011 2.2 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 23.24 lakh kilometres, as on 31 st March 2010 and 2011, the corresponding figures were 24.33 lakh kilometres and 25.25 lakh kilometres, respectively. road length as a proportion of the total road network in the country increased from 51.98 per cent as on 31 st March 2009 to 53.09 per cent as on 31 st March 2010 to 53.83 per cent as on 31 st March 2011. i

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 11.69 lakh kilometres as on 31 st March 2011. 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 27.50 lakh kilometres in 2011. Urban roads grew by a CAGR of 4.5 per cent between 1961 and 2011. Their length stood at 4.12 lakh kilometres as on 31 st March 2011. 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 2011.

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 2011. 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: 2011 6.2 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 24.22 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

State Highways 8.1 The details of State Highways (State/UT-wise) are presented in Section 3. As on 31 st March 2011, almost 99 per cent of the State Highways were surfaced, comprising 97.73 per cent Black Top (BT) or Cement Concrete (CC) roads and 1.07 per cent Water-Bound Macadum (WBM) roads. The remaining roads (1.21 per cent) were unsurfaced. Of these, vii

unsurfaced SHs, motorable roads constituted 0.95 per cent and non-motorable accounted for the remaining 0.25 per cent. 9. Other PWD Roads 9.1 The details of Other PWD (State/UT-wise) are presented in Section 4. As on 31 st March 2011, the total length of surfaced Other PWD roads accounted for 87.59 per cent of the total Other PWD roads. Of these, most roads were either BT or CC (77.48 per cent). WBM roads accounted for a lower share of 10.11 per cent. The remaining roads (12.41 per cent) were unsurfaced and consisted of motorable (9.29 per cent) and non-motorable (3.12 per cent) roads. 10. Rural Roads 10.1 The details of Rural Roads (State/UT-wise) are presented in Section 5. Rural Roads consist of Panchayati Raj roads (Zilla Parishad roads, Village Panchayat roads and Community Development/Panchayat Samiti roads), roads constructed under Jawahar Rozgar Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana launched in 1989-90 and 2000, respectively. Around 38 per cent of rural roads were surfaced as on 31 st March 2011. 11. Urban Roads 11.1 The details of Urban Roads (State/UT-wise) are presented in Section 6.
