Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-I may be completed by 2027-28: MoRTH

The government's flagship Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-I, which has overshot the expenditure limit, is expected to be completed by 2027-28, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) said.

The Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-1 entails a total length of 34,800 km in 31 states and UTs and over 550 districts. The length awarded is 26,425 km and the length constructed is 17,411 km so far.

The programme is expected to be completed by 2027-28. The Bharatmala Pariyojana envisages development of about 26,000 km length of economic corridors, which along with the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) and North-South and East-West (NS-EW) Corridors are expected to carry the majority of the freight traffic on roads.

Further, about 8,000 km of interstate corridors and about 7,500 km of feeder routes have been identified to improve the effectiveness of Economic Corridors, GQ and NS-EW Corridors.

MoRTH has defined a Vision 2047 which aims to provide access to high-speed corridors within 100-150 km to all citizens.
