Presentation on Infrastructure Sector - Roads

Road Network in India
? Road Network of 3.314 million km – 2nd largest in

the world ? Carries about 65% of freight and 86.7% of passenger traffic ? Traffic growth on roads – 7 to 10% p.a. ? National Highways : Constitute 2% of road network but carry 40% of total road traffic

Contd…
? National Highways – Centre managed where as

the rest are taken care of by States/Union Territories ? National Highways further classified according to their carriageway width

National Highways Development Project (NHDP)
? Implementing Agency : NHAI (National Highways

Authority of India) ? Largest highway project ever undertaken by the country ? Aggregate Cost : Rs 2200 bn (US 55 bn$) ? Phases for implementation of projects
? Phase I and II : Golden Quadrilateral (5846km),

North-South and East-West Corridors (7142 km), Port Connectivity (382 km) and Other Projects (962 km) ? Phase III : Up-gradation of 12109 km of National Highways at estimated cost of Rs. 80626 crore on

Contd…
? Phase IV : Widening of 20000 km of highways to

two lanes with paved shoulders ? Phase V : Six laning of 6500 km of selected National Highways ? Phase VI : Development of 1000 km of Expressways at a cost of Rs. 16680 crore ? Phase VII : Construction of 700 km of ring road of major towns and bypasses and construction of flyovers, tunnels, elevated roads etc at a cost of Rs. 16680 crore.

Status of Completion of Phases

NHAI Organization Structure
? Headed by Chairman and 5 full time members –

Member (Admin), Member (Fin.) and 3 Members (Technical)
? 4 part time members ? NHAI entrusted with responsibility of

implementing the NHDP spread over seven phases with estimated expenditure of Rs. 235690 crores by 2015

Highway Financing
? Traditional
? Roads treated as public goods and financed from

general revenue
? Commercial
? Roads treated as capital assets and users charged

for road use.

Private Sector Participation
? Historically, investments made by government

due to large volume of resources required, long gestation period, uncertain returns. ? Bridges the funding gap
? Public sector has a high fiscal deficit ? Private finance supplements public funding

? Increased expenditure and revenue efficiency
? Efficient operations, minimum revenue leakages

? Unbundling and reallocating risk
? Allocating risks to those parties best able to control

them

Contd…
? Internationally also 5-10% of highway projects

financed by private sector.
? Several incentives given to encourage private

participation
? Tax exemptions and tax holidays
? Duty free imports of road building equipments and

machinery ? Reduced state sales tax on construction inputs
? Sub projects in Phase III to Phase VII taken up on

PPP basis by either BOT Toll mode or BOT

Model Concession Agreement
? Published by the Planning Commission for road

concessions under direct tolling
? Model agreement for projects worth more than Rs

100 crore
? Commercial, legal and procedural aspects

defined in details
? All new road projects of NHAI to follow MCA

? NHAI and concessionaires considered equal

Contd…
? Non fulfillment of any or all of conditions (eg:

procurement of permits, approvals etc) can lead to authority to pay damages @ 0.1 % of performance security for each day’s delay
? Issues with MCA
? NHAI not adequately equipped for project

monitoring ? Revision of concession period with variation of traffic growth .

Bidding Process
? 2 stage bidding used to select concessionaire
? Stage I : Uses an objective set of criteria to assess

the technical and financial capability of the bidder
? Stage II : Submission of a technical proposal

(evaluated for conformity with specifications) and a financial proposal containing an evaluation parameter

Project Financing
? BOT Structure (Toll)
? Private investor (concessionaire) is given right to

levy and appropriate toll (fees) from vehicles ? This is in return for obligation to develop, operate and maintain the respective road stretch ? Broad framework for tolling – Based on a base toll level (set in 1996) for different types of projects and same is uniformly applied to national highways projects ? Direct tolling projects eligible for capital grants, determined through bidding process, with level of grant quoted being the sole bidding parameter

Contd…
? BOT (Annuity)
? NHAI retains right to levy user fees ? Concessionaire receives a fixed payment during the

concession period, the annuity payment being the bidding parameter ? Payment begins after project is completed ? Contract has built in incentive for early completion (i.e., annuity payment obligation starts after project completion date)
? Both structures can be combined into a common

hybrid structure – where grant itself would be paid out as annuity

Other Modes of Funding
? Cess on Petrol and Diesel
? Fund collected to be put aside in a Central Road

Fund (CRF) for exclusive utilization for development of a modern road network. ? Amount to be used for:
? Construction and Maintenance of state highways by state

government ? Development of rural roads by state government ? Construction of rail over bridges by Indian Railways ? Construction and maintenance of National Highways by NHDP and Ministry of Road Transport and Highways

? This cess contributes between 5 to 6 thousand

crores per annum towards NHDP

Contd…
? Loan assistance from International funding

agencies like Asian Development Bank, World Bank or other agencies like the Japanese Bank of International Co-operation
? Market Borrowing
? Raising funds from domestic capital market through

bond issuance and borrowings from banks and financial institutions
? Setting up of SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles)
? These SPVs borrow funds and then repay them

through toll revenues in future

Rural Roads
? Amount sanctioned under the PMGSY (Pradhan

Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana) ? Project began on 25th December 2000 ? Goal is to provide all weather road connectivity to all villages:
? With population of 500 persons and above by 2007 ? In Hill states, tribal and desert areas with a

population of 250 persons and above by 2007
? Monitored by the Union Ministry for Rural

Development

Contd…
? 100% Centrally sponsored. 50% of cess on high

speed diesel (Central Road Fund) earmarked for this programme
? It has a standard bidding document and has set a

maximum time limit for each road building activity
? Work subjected to 3-tier inspection
? In house quality control by contractor
? State level independent quality monitors ? National level quality monitors

Constraints/Issues
? Land Acquisition
? Procedural Formalities, Court Cases and lack of co-

operation from state government
? Environmental and Forest Clearances
? Delay at both central and state level

? Clearances of Railways for ROB Designs
? Coordination required with various departments

which takes considerable time for approvals

Contd…
? Shifting of utilities
? Eg: Shifting of electric lines, water pipelines, sewer

lines, telecommunication lines takes time
? Law and Order Problems
? Activities of anti-social elements ? Stoppage of work by local population

? Poor performance by Contractors
? Poor performance leading to termination of

contracts ? The resulting litigation further delays projects

Budget 2009 -10: Infrastructure Focus
? Investment of about Rs. 6,00,000 crores expected

in the next 5 years for development of ports, roads and airports
? Nearly 80% of the share of above total funds to be

allotted to road sector
? 23 % increased allocation for NHDP projects ? 59% increased allocation to Rs. 12000 crores for

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana.
