Open PMGSY PortalWhat changed
The Union Cabinet approved the fourth phase of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana with a total outlay of ₹70,125 crore for FY2024-29. Phase IV targets 62,500 km of all-weather roads to connect 25,000 habitations that remain unconnected after earlier phases. Works are implemented by State PWDs on an EPC model, with central funding shared 60:40 between the Centre and states. PMGSY-IV implementation is expected to run at roughly 12,000-15,000 km per year from FY2025-26.
Action to take
Significant new pipeline for contractors who work with state PWDs, not just NHAI. Technical qualification thresholds are lower than NHAI (typically 3x estimated cost, not 5x). State PWD rates and payment cycles differ from NHAI; factor in longer RA bill processing times.
