OPPORTUNITIES IN STATE ROAD DEVELOPMENT

Mission
z

The development of the road network has been a key focus area of state governments. States like Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana,
Tamil Nadu, Odisha and Rajasthan have made significant progress in the past few years. Close to 50 state road projects covering about 3,000 km were completed in
the past three years. About three-fifth were on a PPP basis.

The year 2014 saw the completion of several important projects including the Sion-Panvel Expressway and the Chandrapur-Bamni highway in Maharashtra; the
Chennai ORR (Phase I) in Tamil Nadu; and the Hyderabad-Ramagundam and Narketpally-Medarametla highways in Andhra Pradesh. In addition, mega projects like
the Agra-Lucknow Expressway in Uttar Pradesh and the Biju Expressway in Odisha were launched. Plans have also been announced to re-bid the long-stalled KMP
Expressway in Haryana.

Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka have deployed hybrid models to attract private interest. Rajasthan passed its State Highways Bill, 2014, which will aid in the
development of 20,000 km of roads on a PPP basis. Tamil Nadu, under its Vision 2023 plan, aims to develop about 40,000 km of roads through PPPs.

Overall, states have lined up nearly Rs 2,000 billion for PPP projects by 2020. However, the last two years have seen a slowdown in PPP project awards.

In order to realise their targets, the states need to focus on financial innovation, enhancing institutional capacity, standardisation of PPP policies, etc. Other issues include
assessment of traffic risks, resistance to toll payment, ban on mining activities leading to shortage of aggregates, and the existence of several competing roads.

Meanwhile, the EPC opportunity also looks promising. States like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Bihar have faced issues in marketing big ticket PPP projects and
have remodelled these on an EPC basis. West Bengal has awarded four projects worth Rs 7 billion on an EPC basis through its highway corporation. Multilateral
agencies are also driving EPC contracts. During 2015, three multilateral loans worth $1 billion are expected to be approved for road projects in Uttar Pradesh and
Tamil Nadu.

The states are also laying emphasis on the maintenance and tolling of roads, especially in Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. Various state governments are looking to
adopt innovative technologies, designs and materials in the sector, which is expected to enhance business opportunities for private players.

The mission of this conference is to present key initiatives, examine the experience so far, discuss challenges, and highlight the investment opportunities. The
conference will also showcase noteworthy projects and best practices.
