lanes, and the remaining half should have two-lane
carriageways with hard shoulders..
10,000 Km of State Highways should have four lanes and
the balance should have two lanes
Forty percent of the major District Roads should have two
lane carriageways
The targets for basic access to village should have two lane
carriageways
Maintenance of existing assets should receive adequate
attention
Alternative sources of funding such as toll financing,
creation of a dedicated Road Fund through additional levies
on fuel.

RURAL ROADS , VISION 2025

It is estimated that a length of 2,90,000 Km of new
roads will be needed to achieve full connectivity. Out of
this 40,000 Km will be black topped and the
remaining 2,50,000 Km will be gravel.

Up-gradation of existing Rural Roads shall be taken
up at a cost of Rs 1,64,000 crores.

The maintenance of the rural road network will
require Rs 7,500 crores every year.

Greater emphasis shall be given to adoption of new
