Implementation of PM Gram Sadak Yojana Phase IV Approved

Between 2022 and February 2025, a total of 69,666.09 kilometres of road length has been constructed across India under various on-going initiatives of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). This program aims to enhance rural connectivity by providing all-weather road infrastructure in unconnected and remote regions.

On 11th September 2024, the Government approved Phase IV of PMGSY, targeting the construction of 62,500 kilometres of roads at an estimated cost of Rs 701.25 billion. This phase, scheduled for implementation between 2024-25 and 2028-29, focuses on connecting 25,000 unconnected habitations. The selection criteria for these habitations are based on population size as per Census 2011: 500 or more in plain areas, 250 or more in the North Eastern and Hill States, Union Territories, and special category areas such as Tribal Schedule V regions, Aspirational Districts and Blocks, and desert regions. In Left Wing Extremism (LWE)-affected areas across nine states, habitations with a population of 100 or more are also eligible.

Under PMGSY-IV, States and Union Territories are currently identifying eligible habitations in line with the programme's guidelines. The Central Government is actively coordinating with the States to ensure the timely submission of project proposals and effective implementation of the scheme.

This update was shared in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha by the Ministry of Rural Development.
