GUJARAT

GETS GOING
The State of Gujarat is well known for it’s booming trade
sector. The construction of new National Highway
infrastructure such as the Bharuch Bridge has strengthened
socio economic ties with neighbouring States in the past
four years. 2,547 km of National Highways have been
developed through 39 major and minor projects. In 2018,
the length of National Highways have reached 7,873 km.
In the coming years many more road development projects
will be undertaken in Gujarat, with investments worth
Rs. 1 lakh Cr.
“When a network of good roads is
created, the economy of the country
also picks up pace. Roads are veins
and arteries of the nation, which help
to transform the pace of development
and ensure that prosperity reaches
the farthest corners of our nation.”
NARENDRA MODI
Prime Minister
“In the past four years, we have expanded the
length of Indian National Highways network to
1,26,350 km. The highway sector in the country has
seen a 20% growth between 2014 and 2018. Tourist
destinations have come closer. Border, tribal and
backward areas are being connected seamlessly.
Multimodal integration through road, rail and port
connectivity is creating socio economic growth
and new opportunities for the people.
In the coming years, we have planned projects with
investments worth over Rs 6 lakh crore, to further
expand the world’s second largest road network.”

Transforming India’s Transport Sector
Key initiatives in 2014 -2018
Over the past four years, various smart initiatives on
Indian National Highways have resulted in transparent
processes, last mile connectivity, safer roads, upskilling,
new opportunities and employment for the people.

Motor Vehicle (Amendment) E Toll - FASTag to enhance

Bill 2017: To bring transparency, efficiency, and reduce long
reduce corruption queues at Toll plazas

E-Rickshaws for last mile Exemption from the

connectivity requirement of commercial
licence for LMV and LCV drivers

Driving training schools in every 0.2%-15% decrease in road

district for skill development accidents and fatalities till 2017

Road Safety Greater Compensation for Partnering with

Annual Plan accident victims of upto NGOs to ensure
Rs. 5 lakhs road safety

Green buses and electric vehicles have been introduced. Emission

standards have been upgraded for vehicles. BS VI norms along with
bio fuel B-100, flex-fuel E-85 or E-100 & ethanol ED-95, methanol
M-15 or M-100 and methanol MD-95 have been standardised

15% methanol blending can result in the replacement of around

31.9 million tons of crude oil. With crude oil prices at USD 54
per barrel, the use of clean energy biofuels will reduce fuel costs
resulting in significant savings. Compared to neat gasoline, M-15
reduces CO and HC emission by 40%. Biofuels will help in reducing
vehicle pollution levels in India

25
 Anti Lock Braking System Model Automated
ensuring vehicle and Centres for checking
passenger safety fitness of vehicles

Vehicle Fleet modernization Simplified forms for

programme obtaining driving licences

Increasing Speed Limits from Taxi Policy Guidelines to

100 km/h to 120 km/h, at par ensure safe, secure and
with the global practices affordable journeys, while
reducing congestion
as well as pollution in cities

Indian Bridge Management System (IBMS), the world’s

largest inventory of bridges, has been created for proper
maintenance of these structures. Till date 1,72,519
bridges of all ages and structures have been inventoried
across India,and assigned GPS based Location Numbers,
Classification Numbers based on features, Structural Rating
& Socio-Economic Rating numbers

789 black spots have been identified and assigned unique

ID numbers. Guidelines have been prepared and notified for
investigation and rectification of these road accident-prone
black spots on National Highways. 265 spots have already
been rectified

Rectification measures at 318 spots have been sanctioned

and are in various stages of implementation. 139 spots are on
State Government roads or with other agencies. Remaining
67 spots would be taken up separately or rectified as part of
ongoing projects
