Private Investment Divison : The Private Investment Divison is headed by Member (PI) with a General Manager (PI) working on part-time basis and a DGM (PI). 6.1 why @ivatisation ? While the traffic has been growing at a fast pace, it has not been possible to provide matching investment on roads, due to competing demand from other sectors, which has led to a large number of deficiencies in the network. Many sections of the Highways are in need of capacity augmentation through addition of lanes, grade separation at intersections, construction of expressways, etc. There are congested routes through towns where bypasses are required to be constructed in order to reduce delays. Many old bridges are in need of replacement, or new construction is required. In order to supplement the Government’s services, it has been decided to invite private sector to invest their funds for improvement of Highway infrastructure. 6.2 Scope of Private Participation: Participation on Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis is sought in projects of undermentioned categories : (a3 Existhg~ ~~aticmal Highways - Bridges - Railway Over -Bridges * - Elevated Sections through Urban areas - Interchanges -Widening of Roads (b) New Alignments - Super National Highways (Expressways) 6.3 Legal Framework : The amendment to the National Highway Act 1956, made in June 1995, provides the legal framework for private sector participation. Under the’amended National Highway Act, it is now possible to : .. Assign to the private entrepreneur, implementation and operation of projects for a specified period by an agreement with the Government. . Author&e the entrepreneur to collect and retain fee from the users. . Authorise entrepreneur to regulate traffic on the BOT road. . Punish any person for encroachment of land and misuse of highway developed by the entrepreneur. 11 6.4 progress ma& so far : 0) The Authority is developing jointly with IL&FS, the Moradabad Bypass Project’in Uttar Pradesh and the Amravati Bypass Project in Maharashtra jointly with SCICI where the land has already been acquired. (ii) The Author&y has also taken up the Durg Bypass project on NH-6 in Madhya Pradesh for construction on BOT basis and has invited privatesector investors for pre-qualification. (iii) The Authority is also developing 6 ROB Projects in Rajasthan on NH Nos. 8,11,12 & 14 and the project will be advertised soon thereafter. (iv) It is also proposed to develop a 30 Km. .stretch of NH 8 near Surat as a Public Sector toll Project after 4 laning of the sections. The Authority will raise commercial loan for this project and repay the debt with interest through tolls. (v) Once these small projects are successfully awarded to private investors, it will help gain experience and form the basis for undertaking further projects for privatisation and also construction of Public Toll Roads. 6.5 Development of Super National Highways : At the instance of the Central Govt., the Authority in July, 1995 invited proposals from the private entrepreneurs for undertaking feasibility studies of the identified sections of the proposed Super National Highways. This project involves the construction of 13,000 kms of new expressways on alignments other than the existing National Highways. These are planned to be 4 laned Highways of standards comparable to highways elsewhere in the world. All expenses of preparation of feasibility studies am to be borne by the Private sector investors themselves. A total of 22 proposals -were received from reputed companies including some international companies in response to the invitation. The Finance Ministry had indicated that a detailed formulation of privatisation policy was further essential for notifying to private sector investors. In response, the Authority has formulated a detailed policy for privatisation and a draft Note for Cabinet has been forwarded to Ministry for further necessary action at their end. 6.6 Highway Development Pund : It has also been envisaged that even if private sector investors were to be invited for construction of various sections of National Highways, bypasses, ROBS and other bridges, Government/Authority would have to undertake feasibility study and acquire land for the projects. As such funds would be required by the Authority for the purpose of undertaking feasibility studies and acquiring land where necessary. Towards this end, the Authority has proposed the creation of a Highways Development Fund by charging cess on petrol and diesel. This fund will go a long way in taking care of feasibility studies and the acquisition of land where necessary in addition to undertaking public sector Toll Road Projects. The Authority has also entered into MOUs with SCICI, and HUDCO for undertaking development of private sector investments projects on BOT basis or any of its variant jointly, sharing the risks so that the projects that are viable could be implemented through financing by these financial institutions. 7. Planning and Information Systems Division : Planning and Information Systems Division is to be headed by Member (P&IS). Presently Member (Finance & Admn.) is looking after this division with DGM (I&PS) in ,place. The activities of this Division are as follows : 12 7.1 Computerisation : The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is computerising its entire working. It is also planning to link up with the international network through Internet & E-Mail to ensure speedy communication with its external funding agencies, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. The need for computerisation has acquired urgency in view of the fact that highway projects in the country have been suffering long delays and this has been causing concern both to the Central Government as well as the foreign funding agencies. The Authority is also going to introduce computer aided designing for its road projects. Computerlsation is going to be an indispensable aid in planning the future road network particularly the ambitious 13,000 Kms National Super Highway Network (SNH). In pursuance of the above, 18 computers. of 486 Dx 2 and one Pentium have been installed in the headquarters. 7.2 Library : NHAI is building up a professional library to keep pace with the latest developments in Management and the Road Construction sector. Selective books, on subjects like administration, policy planning, financing as also technical books are available in the Library for reference purposes. Countrywise literature on BOT project, including legislation, financing of project and other available data of Highway Department in other countries has also been arranged and the same has been kept in the library for reference. The literature pertaining to the following countries is, as such, available for reference purposes : United States of America, Australia, Canada, France, Hungary, Mexico, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Pakistan, China 7.3 Technical Training, Meetings, Symposia Courses Networks etc. during 95 - 96 : In order to develop managerial, professional skills of officers of the Authority, officers have been deputed to attend courses/seminars/workshops being conducted by various leading organisations in India and abroad. The following would indicate the various courses attended by the officers : (0 1st Seminar on Construction and Financing of Roads and Bridges on BOT basis jointly organised by ASSOCHAM, Authority and IL & FS on 13th - 14th September, 1995 at New Delhi. 0 Seminar on Private sector participation in Highway Development organised by IRC in cooperation with MOST etc. at Delhi on 28th & 29th September, 1995.

K. by the Institute for Infrastructure Finance and to study the tolling system of France. 8. I?ublic Grievances : In response to the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances for activating the machinery for redressal of Public Grievances, the Authority has designated DGM (Admn.) as the Staff Grievance Officer for the Authority. Officers have been asked to analyse grievances received by them with a view to find the major grievance-prone areas and take corrective measures to reduce recurrence of such grievances. They have been able to ensure that grievance petitions are disposed of as far as possible within 15 days of their receipt. The Grievance Officer has been vested with powers to call for papers/ documents of cases pending more than 3 months with the approval of Chairman. Also a complaint/ suggestion box has been placed in the reception. 9. Advisory Cdmmittee : With the approval of the Ministry of Surface Transport, an Advisory Committee for the Authority has been constituted to serve as an institutionalised forum for giving suggestions to aid and advise’the Authority in the discharge of the functions assigned to it by the Government. The idea is to interact with various Chambers of Commerce as well as road users interested in development of roads, road safety etc. to advise the Authority on the activities to be taken up to implement the main objectives of road development programmes. Keeping in view the fact that it will be useful for the Authority to interact with members of the public as well as technical institutions dealing with road construction, it was considered desirable to have the meeting of the Advisory Committee,pf the NHAI once in three months or even earlier, if necessary, to discuss issues concerning National Highways. Such topics as constructions of amenities on National Highways, new routes on which expressway should be constructed, terms and conditions on which private investors should be invited for BOT projects are discussed. The list of Members of the Advisory Committee is given in Appendix V. The terms & cenditions of this Committee are as follows : 14 @ to advise the Authority in the formulation and implementation of BOT policy in privatisation of roads; 0 to advise the Authority in the formulation of a perspective plan for the development of National Highways and Super National Highways in the country; (iii) to advise the Authority on the specification for expressways and quality control in road construction; and (iv) to advise the Authority on aspects of road safety, traffic movements, provision of wayside amenities, effective utilisation of air space along the National Highway. The Advisory Committee held three meetings and the suggestions of the members were of immense help in formulating the policies of the Authority in its first year of operation. 10. Signing of Memorandum of Understanding : In its attempts to take the initiative to speed up highway infrastructure development, the Authority has teamed up with the SCICI (Shipping Credit and Investment Corporation of India Ltd.), the IL&FS (Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Ltd.) and HUDCO to promote various road projects. MOUs with them have been signed and it is proposed to take up with each some projects jointly for the construction of bypasses, ROBS and certain expressways. 11. The Future Vision of the Authority : The Authority seeks for itself the role of a coordinator in collaboration with the Ministry of Surface Transport for the transfer of modem construction technology including machine oriented construction of long enduring roads. The Authority also wants to serve as a Think Tank for the Ministry for innovations in development of highways and highway related user facilities. The Highway Authority also seeks for itself, the position of a leader in highway development, management and construction in the entire SAARC region to develop highways to enable faster growth of commerce and trade in the SAARC countries of the sub-continent. This would be possible by gaining international experience through visits and studies of the state-of-the-art techniques evolved in the developed countries. . The Authority wants itself to be a thin and lean Organisation which should be officer oriented and develop its office procedures with the aid of computer technology. It can remain thin by developing its own expertise while simultaneously selectively outsoucring its work. As far as privatisation of highways is concerned, the Authority would like to take the leadership in the country for evolving model BOT contract documents, bid documents etc. so as to enable it to act as a guide to other States and also to bring about a uniformity in the Privatisation Policy in highways in the entire country. For this purpose, the Authority intends to build up a repository of knowledge of the BOZpregr%mm es in roads, highways and bridges which have been or are being executed all over the world. Towards this end, the Authority would be interacting with various international organisations and the road building departments of the various countries in the world where such programmes are going on. The Authority would also like to send its officers abroad for gaining experience in this field and thus become the focal point for disseminating knowledge on BOT procedure etc. to the neighbouring countries. 15 The Authority also wants to build up a dedicated and highly motivated cadre of Officers from the talent available both from the priyate sector as well as the Government and the public sector. These people should be such as are capable of introducing fresh ideas ln this field of highway management, development and construction and can be eventually developed as leaders in their profession. The Authority would also aim to introduce a new work cul$re in the officers and staff of the organisation and make them result oriented and conscious of avoiding cost over runs and time over runs in the execution of projects. Towards this end, the Authority will endeavour to create a culture where each officer of the Authority becomes a decentralised point of responsibility to enable each officer to give his best. The functioning of this Authority will be based on trust of each officer. Accounting procedures will have to be organised accordingly. The Authority would also endeavour to become financially independent by raising new sources of income which would enable it to stand on its own legs rather than depending on Govt. budgetary support. In the initial years, the Authority will of course have to depend on Govt. guarantees whenever it raises loans or Govt. budgetary support, but its ultimate aim would be to make the road programme in India financially independent of the budget and ensuring development of future road programmes through resources raised by it rather than depend on the Govt. Towards this end, it will give various suggestions to the Govt. on how to commercialise roads and how to raise resources for future road programmes. The Authority will also motivate its officers to pursue academic research and bring out papers based on their experience in highway construction so as to enable others to share the knowledge so gained. It will also try to ensure that the international funding agencies are motivated to give more funds to the roads sector by introducing new methods of efficient project execution so that the complaints of the international funding agencies on time over runs and cost over runs are avoided. The Authority will also collaborate with the international and national organisations in this field and selectively adopt techniques and procedures from various parts of the world which can be adopted in India for streamlining execution of highway projects. The Authority will also endeavour to take over management and maintenance of the entire National Highway system in phased manner. Towards this end, it will also endeavour to motivate young motivated engineers from the State PWDs as well as directly from the Institutes of Engineering like IITs, Engineering Colleges etc. to join the Organisation. The Authority will also introduce new techniques for automatic counting of vehicles on roads to enable better planning of road development in the future. Together with this, it will also endeavour to have the latest signages technology on highways and roads introduced in the country. The Authority will also study the various systems of collecting tolls, prevalent abroad. It will try Eo introduce the latest technologies of collecting tolls with a view point of ensuring satisfaction to the road user and avoiding wastage of time. Manual methods of collecting tolls will be gradually phased out and the ultimate aim would be to evolve automatic electronic methods for collecting road user charges on stretches of highways which wil!. come under toll systems. With this vision in view National Highway Authority of India has organized its activities ln its first year of operation. Chairzwn Shri Yogendra Narain, IAS Members Smt. Neelam Nath, IAS Shri S.

No other source of additional capital by Central Government or otherwise was provided in the Act. Since its incorporation (1989-90), no national highway or stretch thereof has been vested in or entrusted to the Authority by the Government in terms of Section 11 of the Act. Therefore, there was no capital at the end of the year. 3.

The Authority has not furnished the utilisation certificate of grant to Government of India as required in.r terms of the sanction and sought the orders of the sanctioning authority on unutilized grant. The grant sanctioned to meet the expenditure for the year 1989-90 was utilized for meeting the establishment expendimre for the year 1990-91 without the approval of the Sanctioning Authority. Though the Authority has not been exempted from paying income tax yet it has neither filed incoine tax return nor disclosed this fact in the accounts. io. Accounting Policies a, The Accounting policy No. 1 regarding accountal of grants received from Government on receipt basis@ not in conform@ wi& the accrual concept of accounting. 0.0 The Accounting Policy No. 4 provides that the stores and spares would be written off in the year of purchase.

No. 1 to 8 is hformatory Grant of Rs. 10 lakhs had been credited to NHAI fund and subsequently the same was credited to Profit & Loss account as the grant was released to meet the establishment expenditure of the Authority. Remaining amount of grant after meeting the establishment expenditure had been retained as NHAI Fund account. Since the Authority was not fully operational during the year, certain administrative lapses might have occurred and necessary remedial steps have been taken. 90.9- The Authority has applied for Tax exemption and our application is pending with Central Board of Direct Taxes as the only source of receipt is grant from Government of India. lOUI- To conform to the accrual concept of accounting, in the 1 lth Board meeting held on 24.1.97 changes in the accounting policy have been made for accounting of grants on accrual basis instead of cash basis. lalo- In the 1 lth Board meeting held on 24.1.1997, accounting policy No. 4 has been changed as only stationery and other items of consumable nature are written off in the year of its purchase and during the year under consideration there is no purchase of stores and spares. 11. - This is a typographical error which is regretted. 3 6 NATIONAL HIGHWAYS AUTHORITY OF INDIA 1, Esatem Avenue, Maharani Bagh New Delhi - 110 065.

No other source of additional capital by Central Government or otherwise was provided in the Act. Since its incorporation (1989~90), no National Highway or stretch thereof has been vested in or entrusted to the Authority by the Government in terms of Section 11 of the Act.

The audit of,accounts of the Authority has been conducted under Section 19(2) of the Comptroller and Auditor General’s (DPC) Act, 1971. 2.

No other source of additional capital by Central Government or otherwise was provided in the Act. Since its incorporation (1989-90), no national highway or stretch thereof has been vested in or entrusted to the Authority by the Government in terms of Section 11 of the Act. Therefore, there was no capital at the end of the year. 3. Fund The Act provides for creation of the National Highways Authority of India Fund (NHAI Fund) into which shall be credited grants, loans, borrowings and any other sum received by the Authority. Expenses of the Authority in discbarge of its functions, expenditure on establishment and other expenses are to be met from this Fund having regard to the purpose for which such grants, loans or borrowings are received. 4, Source of Income During this (fourth) year also there was no business activity.

AUDIT RBF’ORT ON THE ACCOUNTS OF NATIONAL HIGHWAYS . AUTHORITY OF INDIA FOR THE YEAR 1994 - 95. Introduction The National Highways Authority of India (the Authority) was constituted on 15 June 1989 under Section 3(l) of the National Highways Authority of India Act, 1988 (the NHAI Act) mainly to survey, develop, maintain and manage the National Highways, to construct offices ~ or workshops, to establish and maintain hotels, restaurants and rest rooms at or near the highways vested in or entrusted to it, to regulate and control the plying of vehicles, to develop and provide consultancy and construction services and collect fee for services or benefits rendered, in accordance with Section 16 of the Act. The audit of accounts of the Authority has been conducted under Section W(2) of the Comptroller and Auditor General’s (DPC) Act, 1971. 2. Capital Structure The NHAI Act (Section 12) provides that all non-recurring expenditure incurred by or for the Central Government for or in connection with the purpose of any National Highway or any stretch thereof, so vested in or entrusted to the Authority and declared to be capital expenditure by the Central Government would be treated as Capital provided by the Central Government to the Authority. No other source of additional capital by Central Government or otherwise was provided in the Act. Since its incorporation (1989-PO), no national highway or stretch thereof was vested in or entrusted to by the Government to the Authority in terms of Section 11 of the Act. Therefore, there was no capital at the end of the year. 3. Fund The Act provides for creation of the National Highways Authority of India Fund (NHAl Fund) into which shall be credited grants, loans, borrowings and any other sum received by the Authority. Expenses of the Authority in discharge of its functions, expenditure on establishment and other expenses are to be met from this fund having regard to the purpose for which such grants, loans or borrowings are received. 4. Source of Inconie After having refunded a grant of Rs. 160 lakhs on demand by the Government in 1992-93, the Authority received a grant of Rs. 300.00 lakhs from the Government of India in February. 1995 to meet the establishment expenses of the Authority. Expenditure on establishment (including depreciation Rs. 0.55 lakh) during the year was only Rs. 2.32 lakhs. 5. Summahsed Financial Results The summarised financial results of the Authority during the last three years were as under : LIABILITIES a. b. C. d. e. 199293 1993-94 1994-95 - Capital Reserves bz Surplus Borrowing Current Liabilities & Provisions (excluding Provison for gratuity) Provision for gratuity Total 4.91 - 4.00 - 301.81 - 0.16 - 0.17 - 4.24 5.07 4.17 306.05 1.45 0.36 1.09 1.45 0.47 0.98 5.93 1.02 4.91 3.98 3.19 301.14 ASSETS f. 8 41.

Liquid&y The percentage of Current Assets to Current Liabilities, which ‘& a measure of liquidity decreased from 2,487.5 at the end of 1992-93 to 1,876.5 at the end of 1993-94 and then increased to 7,118.16 at the end of the year 1994-95. 7. !3ources and Utibation of Funds Funds amounting to Rs. 298.36 lakhs from internal and external sources were generated and utilised by the Authority during the year as under : AMOUNT a¶. fn‘lafchs~ PARTICtiLARS I. -ofFunds Funds from to Operations : Net Profit before tax Add Depreciation 297.81‘ 0 . 5 5 290.36 Total II. 8. utlllsQtion of Funds Addition to fared assets Addition ,in working capital 4.48 293.88 2x:36 System of Accounting and Internal Control The Authority has not framed its Accounting Manual, Tariff for services, and system of Internal Control. 9. Comments on Accounts 0 Profit & Loss Account Income 6) Other Income (Schedule 11) Rs. 3,00,00,750 The above amount includes Rs. 300.00 lakhs in respect of grants-in-aid received by the Authority to meet the establishment expenditure of the Authority for the year 1994-95. The amount of grant should have been credited to NHAI Fund as required under Section 18 of the NHAI Act and expenditure of Rs. 2,32,291 met out of it. This has resulted in the overstatement of other income by Rs. 2,97,67,709 besides non-observance of provisions of the Act.. The Authority has not disclosed its accounting policy on the maintenance of NHAI Fund. Expenditure Personnel and Admn. Expenses (Schedule - 151 Salary, Wages, allowances and bonus - Rs. 56,349.80 (ji) The above amount includes Rs. 23,691 towards salary and allowances disbursed to the Chairman and Members of the Board which have not been shown distinctly. (iii). The above amount does not include Rs. 14,005 in respect of salary and allowances due and payable to the Chairman and Members of the Board for which no provision has been made. This has resulted in the understatement of above expenditute and overstatement of .profit each by Rs. 14,005. 91 .9 .I1 Mobtenmce of Booka of Accounts and System of incurring Expenditure There is no proper system of maintenance of Cash Book and sanction of expenditure as : (iI certain entries of withdrawal from and deposit of cash in the Bank were not found recorded in the Cash Book; (ii) vou:hers numbers mentioned in the Cash Book did not agree with the vouchers numbers indicated.on the vouchers produced to audit; (iii) in many cases, vouchers produced were just bills of various parties which had not been passed for payment and in respect of which prior approval for incurring expenditure had not been obtained; (iv> date of payment was not recorded in most of the cases; (4 payee& signatures had not been obtained in many cases. Hence, the correctness of Cash and Bank Balance of Rs. 3,01,12,457 as on 31 March 1995 could not be vouched in audit. 9.111 Accounting Policies (iI The Accounting policy No. 1 regarding accountal of grants received from Government of India on receipt basis is not in confirmity with the accrual concept of accounting. (ii) The Accounting Policy No. 4 provides that stores and spares would be written off in the year of purchase. The policy is not in conformity with the approved format of annual accounts and does not take into account the actual consumption of stores and spares during the year. (iii) Though the Authority has not been exempted from paying income tax yet it has neither filed income tax return nor disclosed this fact in the accounts. 9.IV. Genhl Current liabilities of Rs. 4,24,499 shown in the balance sheet have not been indicated in Schedule No. 8 forming part of the accounts. sd/(Rekha Gupta) Principal Director of Commercial Audit & Ex-Officio Member, Audit Board I New Delhi I have examined the foregoing Accounts and Balance Sheet of the National Highways Authority of India. I have obtained all the information and explanations that I have required and subject. to the observations in the separate Audit F~port, I certify as a result of my audit that, in my opinion these Accounts and Balance Sheet are properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Authority according to the best of my information and explanations given to me and as shown by the books of the,Authorlty.

Subsequently the same was credited to profit & loss account as the grant was to meet the establishment expenditure of the Authority. Remaining amount of Grant after meeting the establishment expenditure had been credited as NHAI Fund account. The accounting manualis under finalisatlon. The salary and perquisites of Chairman and Members of the Authority will henceforth be shown distinctly. The amount has been duly provided for and disclosed in the accounts for the year 1995-96 The Authority became operational.in February, 1995 after joining of full-time Chairman. Since the Authority was in its formative stage and there was not enough staff to handle the day to day work, therefore, entire administrative work was managed with the assistance of available employees who were not fully familiar with the commercial accounting system. Therefore, certain errors of clerical nature might have occured. ’ 9 III (0 - To conform to the accrual concept of accounting, in the 11th Board meeting held on 24.1.97, changes in accounting policy have been made for accounting of grants on accrual basis instead of cash basis. 9III(iII- In the 11th Board meeting held on 24. 1 97, accounting policy No. 4 has been changed as only stationery and other items of consumable nature are written off in the year of its purchase and during the year under consideration there is no purchase of stores and spares. 9III(iii>- The Authority has applied for Tax exemption and our application is pending with Central Board of Direct Taxes. 9nr- Omission is noted. 93 NATIONAL HIGHWAYS AUTHORITY OF INDIA 1, &stem Avenue, Mohmnl EM&, New Delhi - 110 065.
