plan will soon be presented to the Government for approval. The expected project cost for Phase IV is<br />

Rs.278,000.00 million.<br />

Phase V: As road traffic increases, a number of four-lane highways will need to be upgraded/expanded to<br />

six lanes. The current plan calls for upgrading about 6,500 kilometers of four-lane roads, along the Golden<br />

Quadrilateral on design build finance operate basis. As of June 30, 2009, 130 kilometers of the project had<br />

been completed, while 904 kilometers remains under construction and 5,466 kilometers remain to be<br />

awarded. The expected project cost for Phase V is Rs.412,100.00 million.<br />

Phase VI: The Government is working on constructing expressways that would connect major commercial<br />

and industrial townships. It has already identified 1,000 km of the Baroda-Mumbai section that would be<br />

connected to the existing Baroda-Ahmedabad section in this phase. The expressways will be funded on<br />

BOT basis. In addition, the budget for the year ended March 31, 2008, stated that 1,000 kilometers of<br />

expressways would be executed under Phase VI and six high density corridors were identified for carrying<br />

out feasibility studies. The expected project cost for Phase VI is Rs.166,800.00 million.<br />

Phase VII: This phase calls for improvements to city road networks by adding ring roads to enable easier<br />

connectivity with national highways to substantial cities. In addition, improvements will be made to<br />

stretches of national highways that require additional flyovers and bypasses given population and housing<br />

growth along the highways and increasing traffic. The expected project cost for Phase VII is Rs.166,800.00<br />

million.<br />
