Abstract:
Road connectivity is a vital for the sustained and inclusive growth of the country. It facilitates the movement of passengers and freight across the country. India’s transportation sector has a share of 4.8 per cent in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2011-12. Although National Highways constituted about 1.80 per cent of the total network as on March 2016, they carried 40 per cent of the total road tariff. The total road length of the country increased significantly from 3.99 lakh kms in 1951 to 56.03 lakh kms in 2016. During the years 1951-2016 growth of Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) was 4.1 per cent. During the same period surfaced road treatment increased from 39.26 per cent to 62.5 per cent. India’s road density of 170 km was higher than that of Japan (0.91 km), the USA (0.68 km), China (0.47 km) and Brazil (0.18 km). Further, the researchers in this paper examined the history of development of road transport India and analyzed Five Year Plans and brief overview of road network 1951 to 2016. Furthermore, researchers find out the growth of road transport between the periods of preliberalization and post-liberalization. And analyses CAGR of Road Network. The present study has been conducted based on the secondary data.
