ASSIGNMENT HELP ON HYBRID ANNUITY MODEL

INTRODUCTION

1. BACKGROUND

             India, being one of the  fast growing economists in the world, has to depend on the improvement and expansion of its road infrastructure to sustain its growth. The NHDP is a program to upgrade, rehabilitate and widen major highways in india to a higher standards. As governments, particularly in those developing countries, usually find it difficult to provide sufficient capital for public infrastructure development, the BOT contract is widely used to attract private capital to assist in developing public infrastructure. The projects in the NHDP program are thus of BOT type. It is observed that they were many issues in the tendering process which resulted in slow progress of the NHDP program. The tendering and bidding process of the BOT contract thus becomes very vital stage.

In this thesis an attempt has been made to study the RFP&RFQ document in detail& to analyze the changes that have been taken place in the tendering process. Our major interest is to analyze the B.K.Chaturvedi committee report which were prepared for recommending ways to accelerate developments of highways in the country and thus has increased the number of award of contract and bidders also we have attempted to analyze the impact of B.K.Chaturveedi recommendations on HYBRID ANNUITY model and its current progress of NHDP. This move has definitely helped the government to move a step closer of achieving its target of building 20 kilometers of road per day.

1. OBJECTIVES

HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF NHAI

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is an autonomous agency of the Government of India, responsible for management of a network of over 70,000 km of National Highways in India. It is a nodal agency of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

ROAD NETWORK IN INDIA:

 Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Road transport has emerged as the dominant segment in India’s transportation sector with a share of 5.4 per cent in India’s GDP. Road transport demand is expected to grow by around 10% per annum in the backdrop of a targeted annual GDP growth of 9% during the Eleventh Five Year Plan. The road network can be broadly classified into five broad categories: 

(1) Expressway

(2) National Highways (NHs) 

(3) State Highways (SHs)

(4) Other Roads and

(5) Rural Roads 

National Highways comprise less than 2 per cent of the road network, but carry 40 percent of the road-based traffic. State Highways (SHs) and Major District Roads (MDRs) constitute the secondary system of road transportation in the country. The State Highways connect National Highways, district headquarters, important towns, tourist locations and minor ports. About 61% of the total road length in India is accounted for by rural roads. The decadal figures of the road network under all

these categories are provided in the Table As would be seen from the table, the aggregate length of roads, which was 0.4 million km in 1950-51 has increased more than 10 fold to 4.24 million km by 2009-10.
