3.  Balance roads shall be identified after carrying out a network analysis and economic viability from the balance 3700 Kms of State Highways in other phases subsequently.

At the preliminary stage, identified about 825 Km of Road Stretches to be included in the Phase-I of the Project. These roads were selected from the earlier dropped project for which a full-scale techno-economic feasibility study was carried out.
