		+	How many people would have heard of Bharthana? Not many, for sure. But a toll plaza near this Gujarat village on the Vadodara Bharuch section of NH-48, connecting Delhi with Mumbai — the busiest route in the country — is the top toll grosser, generating an average of Rs 400 crore annually over the past five years.
		+
		+	Given the volume of goods traffic that moves between landlocked states in north India and ports on the country’s western coast, it isn’t surprising that the toll plaza in Sha- hjahanpur in Rajasthan — also on NH-48 — garnered the second highest user fee of Rs 378 crore a year.

 [[File: high.jpg| National Highways: the Least and most expensive; fastest and slowest to contruct |frame|500px]]
 There were 127 delayed national highway projects as per December, 2014. An analysis of the estimated project cost per kilometre and the rate of construction of these roads showed some interesting patterns. Bridges were understandably far more expensive to construct--the per km cost of construction of Chambal bridge on NH-76 was Rs 200.9cr, 84 times the cost of construction of the Rai Bareli-Allahabad section of NH-24B. They also had the slowest construction rate. The annual construction rate was 0.1 km for the Chambal bridge, far lower than the 123.8 km year rate at which sections of NH-69A and 26B were being constructed.

	For long, there has been a debate whether NHs should be of at least four lanes to give them a different identity from other roads. However, due to increased political demand to convert more and more roads into NHs, about three-fourths of the NH network are still either of two lanes or less.

		+	Rajasthan reported the highest national highway (NH) construction among states during the first four years of the Narendra Modi government while Centre’s expenditure was maximum in Uttar Pradesh for building highways. Acording to government data, Maharashtra ranked second both in highway construction and expenditure between 2014-15 and 2017-18.
		+
		+	According to the details available with TOI, the NH construction and widening during the current NDA government stood little over 28,500 km till March 2018, which was about 40% more than what the UPA had built between 2009-10 and 2012-13. Highway ministry officials said the gap will be bigger when the current financial year ends in March. The pace of construction has increased substantially during the past three years and this year they hope to achieve building at least 11,000 km. Till December end, the overall construction figure was approximately Rs 6,700 km.

		+	Private sector lenders such as HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, IndusInd, L&T Finance, Kotak Mahindra, RBL and Standard Chartered have come forward to fund highway projects in a major way as stressed public sector banks remain shy of providing finance to the sector.
		+
		+	Data collated by government showed private sector players have stepped in to provide loan for over half of the 59 projects where construction companies have tied up funds. Similarly, they have committed to provide funds for 17 out of the 20 projects where the process of financial closure is under way.
		+
		+	“There is a huge jump in private sector banks and FIs funding projects this year as compared to last year and it’s highest ever in NHAI’s history. Banks face no risk in these projects implemented on an Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM). One of the reasons behind the interest of private banks in the sector is the RBI imposing prompt corrective action (PCA) on 11 banks. Public sector banks have also been facing the problem of excess credit exposure,” an NHAI official said.
		+
		+	Unlike Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) mode where the private player is tasked with toll collection for certain years to recover investment and clear bank dues, in case of HAM, toll collection is NHAI’s responsibility and hence there is hardly any risk. “The only risk is during the construction phase. To ensure that project does not get stuck, we preferred to get land and clearances before giving letter of appointment to start work. Unlike in BOTToll where construction companies and banks had faced problems after the work started, we have taken steps to avoid such a situation,” said an official at NHAI.
