It is the endeavor of our government to develop eco friendly National Highways with
participation of the community, farmers, NGOs, private sector, institutions, government
agencies and the Forest Department. At present, different types of arrangements exist, with
respect to raising and maintaining roadside plantations, because of this it gets neglected. To
circumvent it, we have decided to have a separate policy for plantation along highways.
With this in view we have prepared the Green Highways (Plantation, Transplantation,

shrubs are natural sink for air pollutants. This will provide much needed shade on glaring
hot roads during summer.
Trees reduce the impact of ever increasing noise pollution caused due to increase in
number of vehicles and help in arresting soil erosion at the embankment slopes thereby
increase the life of the highways. Trees not only prevent glare from the headlight of incoming
vehicles but also moderate the effect of wind and incoming radiation. It will help in creating
employment opportunities for local people. We have also decided to keep one percent of the

ͳǤͳ Loss of vegetation is one of the inevitable consequences of Highway Development.

It is the responsibility of the highway development agencies to offset this loss by
way of following the approach of Corridor Development Ƭ ƒƒ‰‡‡–Ǥ The highway
development agencies must strive to enhance the aesthetics of the highway corridor
at all possible locations. Highways shall not be looked upon merely as a means of
transportation, but an integral part and parcel of the physical environment and ‘ ‹‘Ǧ
economic milieu.

ͳǤʹ Often, while preparing the Land acquisition Plans for the highway projects, the land
needed for the avenue plantation and landscape improvement is not considered during
the DPR stage. As a result, after construction, when the planting is actually to start,
there is no option but to accommodate planting in whatever space available. The width
of the remaining ROW is, many times, not •—ˆϐ‹ ‹‡– to accommodate even a single row
of plants; whereas at some places, three to four rows can be planted. In order to ensure
availability of •—ˆϐ‹ ‹‡– width throughout for avenue planting, it is necessary that the
requirement of land for tree plantation shall be included in the Land Acquisition Plans
prepared by the DPR consultants.

ʹǤ Institutional arrangements and ‹ƒ ‹‰ Pattern

ʹǤͳ It is experienced that the scenario of road side plantation is not satisfactory in most
of the projects implemented through BOT, DBFOT and public funded projects. This is the
responsibility of road implementation agencies to develop green corridor along highways
for aesthetic enhancement of the project corridors and places of importance by planting
selective ornamental trees, landscaping and –—”ϐ‹‰ with grasses and ornamental shrubs,
in order to reduce the impact of air pollution and dust as trees and shrubs are known to
be natural sink for air pollutants and carbon sequencing. It also reduces noise pollution
and provides much needed shade on glaring hot roads during summer. Plantation arrests
soil erosion at the embankment slopes, prevents glare from the headlight of incoming
vehicles and moderates the effect of wind and incoming radiation. Green corridors guide

passing through forest areas. For these areas, permission for tree cutting is required
to be taken from the forest department under the Forest Conservation Act, ͳͻͺͲǤ
While granting the permission, the forest department stipulates the conditions not only
for compensatory afforestation ȋȌ but also for avenue plantations. In these cases,
the amount for avenue plantation is deposited with the Forest Department and
normally the work of avenue plantation is taken up by Forest Department apart from
CA.

͸ǤʹǤͳ Plantation is one of the most important constituents of soft landscaping. Trees,
shrubs and climbers have been used to enhance the soft natural ambience against harsh
elements in most of the enhancement schemes. The planting species are decided based
on the physical growth characteristics of trees, like form and shape, foliage pattern,
growth rate, branching pattern, soil characteristics and conditions of the strip like water
logged areas etc. While selecting the species of trees for landscaping, a great care shall
be taken to choose the species, which already exist along the project corridor. On the
other hand, if a pure avenue of single species is planted for a considerable length of the
road, it gives a harmonious and pleasing look. It is, therefore, essential that mixtures
of different species shall be avoided and pure avenues of a single species be planted
over long stretches of road. This will enhance the aesthetic quality and will also render
management easier.

͸ǤʹǤʹ The selection of plant types and planting arrangement shall be based on the
following ‘•‹†‡”ƒ–‹‘•ǣǦ

6.3. Plantation Pattern

͸Ǥ͵Ǥͳ The road landscape shall be developed envisaging a holistic approach to the entire
stretch. A concept shall be evolved so as to maintain visual characteristics and uniformity
in terms of landscape along the stretch. In the absence of uniform land availability for
the plantations, different schemes may be worked out in tune with local variations in
the design. To achieve this, the entire stretch of the project corridor shall be divided
into homogenous landscape sections based on similarity in terms of available width, soil
conditions, climate (temperature and ”ƒ‹ˆƒŽŽȌ and topography. A study on the local ϐŽ‘”ƒ
and vegetative cover native to these sections shall be carried out as part of the ϐ‹‡Ž†
surveys to enable a choice of the suitable species for particular section. Depending on
the available ROW, plantation pattern shall be worked out as ˆ‘ŽŽ‘™•ǣǦ

͸ǤͷǤͳ The surface is to be prepared adequately for shrubs planting or grass sowing.
The grasses and shrubs planting are done to provide a strong surface cover but needs a
™‡ŽŽǦ’”‡’ƒ”‡† surface. All masses of loose debris shall be removed. Any convexities shall
be removed and similarly any concavities are to be ϐ‹ŽŽ‡† by good soil. The surface shall
have •—ˆϐ‹ ‹‡– layer of good quality soil ȏ—’–‘ Ͷͷ •Ȑ so as to have better growth and
survival of grasses and shrubs.

͸ǤͷǤʹ Grass lines are used to provide a strong surface cover but need a ™‡ŽŽǦ’”‡’ƒ”‡†
surface. If grass is to be an effective form, then it must be allowed to establish properly
on a slope which is not subject to undue stress from erosion and mass movement in
its initial stages. Sowing of grasses is intended to create a strengthened surface that is
resistant to erosion.

͸ǤͷǤ͵ It is the responsibility of the planting agency to ensure that the condition of the
site is good enough for the successful establishment of grasses. The planting agency is
required to supervise all ϐ‹‡Ž† operations like preparation of surface, sowing of grasses
and quality of grasses seeds used.

͸ǤͷǤͶ A cover of ʹͷ grams of grass seed per square metre of surface shall be achieved.
The timing of sowing is of utmost importance. The seed sowing must be carried out
before the onset of monsoon ȏƒ› Ƭ —‡Ȑ so that they yield desired results. The
watering of the surface shall be done till the onset of the monsoon. After sowing, mulch
of prepared and dried out herbs shall be laid over the whole seeded area in a thin layer
so that the direct sunlight and transpiration loss may not affect the grasses.
6.6 ‡†‹ƒ Plantation - The species to be planted in median will be of low or medium
height with ornamental value to enhance the visual experience of the road corridor.
It will also act as a screen to prevent glare from the incoming vehicles. The species
recommended for median are mainly Bougainvillea and Kaner. Bougainvillea is considered
as the most suitable species as it has a great aesthetic value and it is found in various
colours and shades. It can also withstand extreme temperature and climatic conditions
and also has low requirement of water. These species have been proposed considering

͹ǤͳǤʹ In localities where a really bad patch of usar occurs, there is a need to dig deep
pits by auger ȏ‡ Šƒ‹ ƒŽ †‡˜‹ ‡Ȑ to break the kankar pan down below and replacing
the soil by good quality soil. The soil amender Gypsum ͳ –‘͵ kg. depending on the
pH along with ʹ kg. composite and sand are ϐ‹ŽŽ‡† in the pits. The treatment helps in
lowering down the pH and thus enabling better survival of plants.

͹Ǥʹ ’‡ ‹ϐ‹ ƒ–‹‘• for ‡†‹ƒ Žƒ–ƒ–‹‘ǣ

͹ǤʹǤͳ One or two rows of ϐŽ‘™‡”‹‰ shrubs are recommended in accordance to the
varying width of the median in different sections. In sections where median width is
less than ͳǤͷ meter, only grass turf is recommended. In median width of ͵ meters, one
row of shrub whereas in ͷ meter median width, plantation of two rows of ϐŽ‘™‡”‹‰
shrubs are proposed.

͹ǤʹǤʹ Only two rows of shrubs will be planted on median width of ͷ meters and these
plants will be at a spacing of ͳǤͷ meters from the inner edge of the median.

͹ǤʹǤ͵ The plants will be at spacing of ͵ x ͵ meters and •‹œ‡ of the pits for planting will
be ͲǤ͸ dia and deep. Therefore, total no. of plants per km will be ͵͵͵ in case where
single row is proposed and ͸͸͸ in case of two rows.

͹ǤʹǤͶ The surface for the median plantation shall be well prepared. The masses of loose
derbies on the median and any convexities will be removed and similarly any concavities
are to be ϐ‹ŽŽ‡† by good soil. The surface shall have •—ˆϐ‹ ‹‡– layer of good quality soil
so as to have a better growth and survival of grasses and shrubs.

8. Transplantation

ͺǤͳ Occasion may arise when a ‰”‘™Ǧ—’ tree has to be cut for making room for
constructing a road, a building or other structure. It will be desirable to save this plant
by transplanting it at a suitable site. To do this successfully some time is necessary.
In winter when the tree is dormant or less active, it shall be pruned heavily leaving a
bare framework of the large branches. A ͶͲ to ͷͲ cm wide trench ͳ to ʹ m deep shall
be dug around the stem as much distance away from it, depending upon the stature
of the specimen, cutting all the roots, big and small, in the process. The job of tree
transplantation is quite complex and requires high quality expertise, technique besides
specialised equipment and infrastructure.

ͺǤʹ The location for transplantation is to be ‹†‡–‹ϐ‹‡† and preliminary treatment is

to be done at least ͵Ǧ‘–Š• in advance before the area is ready for transplantation.
Transplantation of trees depends on the soil and climatic conditions of that area.
Specialised techniques are required in transplantation of trees with specialised equipments
and machinery. Transplantation of trees will be done to the maximum extent possible
on the national highways to save the grown trees along existing ROW. The Translocation
site shall be within ͷ Kms. of the existing tree location.
9. ”‘–‡ –‹‘ measures

The fencing of single row plantations will be done by using ‹”‘Ȁ„”‹ Ȁ ‡‡– guards.
Locally available bamboo guards or thorn fencing may also be used where protection
can be ensured through these. The •’‡ ‹ϐ‹ ƒ–‹‘• for the iron guards are as per Ǧ

The fencing of multiple row plantations will be done preferably by barbed wire. A ϐ‹˜‡

not a Šƒœƒ”† to road –”ƒˆϐ‹ or restrict the visibility. ‘•– vulnerable location in this
regard are the inside of curve, median, junction corner and cut slopes. Trees shall be
planted at a minimum distance of ͳͶ from the central line of the extreme –”ƒˆϐ‹ lane
to provide recovery area for the vehicle that runs off the road. The second row is ͵
away from the ϐ‹”•– row. The third and the subsequent rows is also be ͵ m away from
the second and so on as per availability of land. Growth of vegetation close on road
curve may lead to serious reduction of clear sight distance and may cause accidents.
Tall and overgrowth plants on and near the curve is not permissible. In plain terrain,
a stopping site distance of ͳ͹Ͳ m corresponding to the designed speed of ͳͲͲ Km
per hour shall be ensured on all curved sections, on the innermost lane of the curve.
Highway medians of upto ͳǤͷ m width shall not be planted, as there is hardly any
