- 2. Introduction Quick Facts India is having second largest road network in the world.(33 Lakh km) Roads in India are divided into the following five categories: National Highways (NH) State Highways (SH) Major District Roads (MDR) Other District Roads (ODR) Village Roads (VR) National highways form only 2% of the total roads by length and carry about 40% of the traffic Out of total length of national highways: 27 % - single lane/intermediate lane 59 % - double-lane standard 14 % - four-lane/ six-lane/ eight lane standard
- 3. Importance • Contributes about 5 % to the GDP, • National highway traffic has grown between 7-10 % YoY • Passenger traffic projected to grow by 12-15 % till 2012 • Number of vehicles increasing at 30 per cent p.a. • National highways carries 85 % passenger traffic and 65% freight traffic • Freight traffic to grow by 15-18 % till 2012

- 5. Golden Quadrilateral The Golden Quadrilateral is a highway network connecting India's four largest metros : Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata First phase of the National Highways Development Project . The project aims of building 5,846 km (3,633 mi) of four/six lane express highways at a cost US$12.2 billion Advantages: Better and faster transport networks between many major cities and ports Industrial and job development in smaller towns & villages
- 6. National highways authority of India • "The National Highways Authority of India was constituted by an act of Parliament, the National Highways Authority of India Act, 1988. It is responsible for the development, maintenance and management of National Highways entrusted to it and for matters connected or incidental there to. The Authority was operationalized in February, 1995 with the appointment of full time Chairman and other Members. "
- 7. National Highway 1 • National Highway 1 or NH 1 is a National Highway in Northern India that links the national capital New Delhi to the town of Attari in Punjab near the India–Pakistan border. Known as Grand Trunk Road • It runs for a distance of 456 km (283 mi) • NH 1 presently has 4 different spur routes designated as 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D. Except for 1A, all these spurs are entirely within the state of Jammu and Kashmir. These spurs are strategically important as they connect remote cities and towns in the Himalayas with the rest of India. NH 1A: Jalandhar - Madhopur - Jammu - Banihal - Srinagar - Baramula - Uri NH 1B: Batote - Doda - Kishtwar - Sinthan pass - Khanabal NH 1C: Domel - Katra NH 1D: Srinagar - Kargil - Leh, meets Leh-Manali Highway in Leh
- 8. National Highway 47A • National Highway 47A, also known as NH 47A, is the shortest highway in the Indian Highway network. It covers a distance of 6 km (3.7 mi) between Kundannoor and Willingdon Island in Kochi, Kerala. It starts from the junction of NH 47 at Kundannoor.

- Largest road network in the world -US’s 6.43 million km Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) Average speed on Indian highways is 30 km per hour, which is three times lower than the average speed on highways in developed countries.

- To meet the infrastructural need, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) launched the National Highways Development Project. This project has three phases, which are meant to upgrade and widen the country‟s highway network. The first phase incorporates the development of the Golden Quadrilateral connecting Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. The second phase involves the development of the North-South and East-West links, which runs from Srinagar to Kanyakumari and from Porbunder to Silchar. Phase III consists of the upgrade of existing national highways (Rastogi, A., 2006). The NHAi is also investing in the development of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) in order to increase the effectiveness of transport services on the highway and automate many processes such as toll collection (Chandra, P .and Jain, N., 2007). Given the important role of road transportation in supply chain efficiency, the ITS is expected to add significant value to logistics operations. Successful implementation of such a project will lead to better management of road infrastructure and transportation: traffic congestions will be significantly reduced, the average speed on Indian roads will increase, the average wait time on tollbooths will decrease, better fleet management and traceability of trucks will become possible, and information flow will improve. The Indian Road Freight Industry is highly fragmented and largely unorganized with many small operators. The industry is deregulated and its structure consists of transporters, broker agents and small operators – these are truck owners with a license to operate and a small fleet of up to five vehicles. The World Bank report titled Indian Road Transport Service Efficiency Study finds the Indian road freight industry structure to be an effective one, given the very low freight rates and despite the deficient infrastructure. In fact, “India has achieved a highly competitive, low-cost road freight transport industry for basic services, with highway freight rates among the lowest in the world”, the report states. Economic benefits The GQ project establishes better and faster transport networks between many major cities and ports. It provides an impetus to smoother movement of products and people within India. It enables industrial and job development in smaller towns through access to markets. It provides opportunities for farmers through better transportation of produce from the agricultural hinterland to major cities and ports for export, through lesser wastage and spoils. Finally, it drives economic growth directly through construction as well as through indirect demand for cement, steel and other construction materials.It gives an impetus to Truck transport throughout India. industrial and job development in smaller towns Kolkata – Chennai
