Assertion (A): Bharatmala Pariyojana Phase-I was approved by the Government in October 2017. The total length envisaged under Phase-I is about 34,800 km of highways, including various categories like Economic Corridors, Inter-corridor & Feeder Routes, National Corridor Efficiency Improvement, Border & International Connectivity roads, Coastal & Port Connectivity roads, and Greenfield Expressways. The length of Economic Corridors specifically targeted for development under Phase-I is about 9,000 km, not 26,000 km. The figure 26,000 km might refer to the total length of identified economic corridors across the country, some of which would be developed/improved under the scheme, but it is not the envisaged development length specifically for economic corridors under Phase-I as the statement implies. Therefore, Statement A is false. Assertion (B): Bharatmala Pariyojana is indeed funded through multiple sources. Key funding sources include the Central Road Fund (CRF), which is primarily generated from the Cess on Petrol & Diesel, Toll revenues, market borrowings, and budgetary support from the Government. Therefore, Assertion B is true.
Select the correct option regarding the following assertions. Assertion (A): The Bharatmala Pariyojana, approved by Government of India in 2017, envisages development of about 26,000 km length of Economic Corridors. Assertion (B): The Bharatmala Pariyojana is being funded from Cess collected from Petrol & Diesel, Toll etc.
