* Balance road length is less than the difference of sanctioned and

completed with less than the sanctioned length due to reduction in
road length, change in alignment, construction of part length by
other agencies, etc.
As reported by the State of Uttar Pradesh, the reasons of pendency
of some of the works are mainly on account of land dispute, forest
clearance and pending utility shifting. Similarly the State of Punjab
has reported 59 works (581.20km) are pending due to use of new
technology (Full Depth Reclamation/ Cement Treated Base) for
which a Project Monitoring Unit (PMU) had to be set up. State of
Page 3 of 6Kerala has reported that main reasons of pendency are court case,
forest issues, contract termination, etc. In addition to above,
following reasons also contributed in delay in execution in some
PMGSY projects in the country ;
i. Natural challenges like landslides, floods and extreme
weather.
ii. Tendering and administrative delays at the state level.
iii. Delay in tendering works due to the Model Code of Conduct.
(d) The timeline for completion of ongoing projects under PMGSY-I
(only Chhattisgarh), PMGSY-II, RCPLWEA and PMGSY-III has been
extended till 31.03.2026. The timeline for completion of PMGSY I
works in all States other than Chhattisgarh was March, 2025.
