Project Execution for the Green National Highway Corridor
With loan assistance of $500 million and a total project cost of $1288.24 million (INR 7,662.47 crore), the Government of India and the World Bank have signed an agreement for the construction of the Green National Highway Corridors Project (GNHCP) in the states of Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh. According to the agreement, the GNHCP will have an aggregate length of 781 kilometers. It is anticipated that the final package of the GNHCP project will be finished by May in the year 2026.
Safe and Green Highway
Demonstrating a safe and environmentally friendly highway while taking into consideration climatic resilience and the application of green technologies is a component of the project. Through the utilization of cement-treated sub-base and recycled asphalt pavement, it involves the reduction of natural resource consumption.
Additionally, the project encourages the utilization of locally sourced or marginal materials, such as lime, fly ash, and waste plastic. In addition to that, it employs bioengineering techniques for slope protection, such as the utilization of coco fiber/jute erosion control blankets with shrub/grass plantations, hydroseeding, shotcrete crib walls with vegetation, bamboo plantations, hedge brush layers, interlink chain mesh with grass strips, Geocell with hydroseeding, and other similar techniques.
Reducing Carbon Emission
It is anticipated that the implementation of green technologies and bioengineering solutions, in particular in hilly regions, will result in a reduction of carbon emissions and will guarantee the preservation of natural resources throughout the project's life cycle, which includes both the construction and operating phases. The purpose of the project is to create roads that are not only smooth and motorable but also provide connectivity to the surrounding communities regardless of the weather. As a consequence, this will lead to the development of the region's socioeconomic system, as well as to increased trade and connection within the region. Because the selected stretches will increase connectivity to the inner regions of the country, employment possibilities and inclusive growth prosperity will be improved as a result. This will be accomplished by bringing the selected stretches closer to the mainstream areas.
