Note: Cost of Phase I and II are at 1999 prices and 2003 prices respectively. Phase-IV is yet to be
approved by the Government.
Currently, phase III and V are being executed while later phases are in planning/feasibility stage. In
the later phases, as more and more roads become multilane, with more expressways, usage of
Geotextiles will clearly grow.
The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), was launched by the Govt. of India to provide
connectivity to unconnected rural Habitations as part of a poverty reduction strategy. Government of
India is endeavoring to set high and uniform technical and management standards and facilitating
policy development and planning at State level in order to ensure sustainable management of the rural
roads network. About 368,000 km of new road construction and 370,000 km of upgradation/renewal
is expected to be done at a cost of about $26 billion. This is expected to increase the demand of
Geotextile in India.
