Abstract
A well-developed transportation infrastructure is essential for economic, industrial, social and
cultural development of a country. Due to this need, human being has developed three modes of transport, i.e., by land, by water and by air. The road network has expanded from 4 lakh km in 1947 to 20 lakh km in 1993 and almost 55 lakh kms as on 31 March, 2015. India has less than 3.8 kms of road per 1000 people; including all its paved and unpaved roads. In terms of quality, all season, four or more lane highways; India has less than 0.07 kms of highway per 1000 people as of 2010. Inadequate maintenance of roads accounts to an act of disinvestment and sacrifice of past investment in roads. Roads have been receiving decreasing share of total Five-Year Plan expenditure (decreasing from 6.7% in first plan to 3% in second plan).
