PHASES
Phase I:
The Golden Quadrilateral (GQ; 5,846 km) connecting the four major cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. Length:5,846 km. Total cost Rs300 billion
Phase II:
The North-South and East-West Corridor (NS-EW; 7,300 km) Srinagar to Kanyakumari, including spur from Salem to Kochi (Via Coimbatore), and Silchar in the east to Porbandar in the west.
Total Length -7,300 km, includes Port connectivity and other projects — 1,157 km
Total Cost of Rs350 billion
Phase III: NHDP-III to upgrade 12,109 km of national highways on a Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis & contracts have been awarded for a 2,075 km.
Phase IV: Widening 20,000 km of highway that were not part of Phase I, II, or III. Phase IV will convert existing single lane highways into two lanes.
Phase V:
Four lane highways need to be upgraded/expanded to six lanes. The current plan calls for upgrade of about 5,000 km of four-lane roads.
Phase VI: Constructing expressways that would connect major commercial and industrial townships. The World Bank is studying this project. The project will be funded on BOT basis. 334 km Expressway between Chennai—Bangalore 277 km Expressway between Kolkata—Dhanbad
Phase VII: Improvements to city road networks by adding ring roads to enable easier connectivity with national highways to important cities. In addition, constructing flyovers and bypasses. The 19-km long Chennai Port—Maduravoyal Elevated Expressway is being executed under this phase.

CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS In August 2003, Jharkhand-based project director
Satyendra Dubey, in a letter to the Prime Minister, outlined a list of malafide actions in a segment of this highway in Bihar.
Dubye's claims included that big contractors had inside information from NHAI officials that the contractors for this stretch were not executing the project themselves (as stipulated in the contract) but subcontracting the work small builders who lacked technical expertise and that no follow-up was performed after awarding advances.
Dubey's name was leaked by the PMO to the NHAI and he was transferred against his wishes to Gaya, Bihar, where he was murdered on November 27.
FUTURE PLANS The Indian Government has set ambitious plans
for upgrading of the National Highways in a phased manner in the years to come. The details are as follows:
4-laning of 10,000 km (NHDP Phase- III) including 4,000 km that has been already approved. An accelerated road development program for the North Eastern region.
2-laning with paved shoulders of 20,000 km of National Highways under NHDP Phase-IV.
6-laning of GQ and some other selected stretches covering 6,500 km under NHDP Phase-V.
Development of 1,000 km of express ways under NHDP Phase-VI.
Development of ring roads, bypasses, grade separators, service roads, etc. under NHDP Phase-VII.
