I. Introduction and Project Progress during the reporting period

1. State context. Madhya Pradesh is the second largest state (area wise) and the fifth most populous state who’s about 72% of the population living in rural areas and is dependent upon agriculture for livelihood. An average 8% economic growth rate of state (2011 to 2018) is attributed to various industrial and infrastructural developments. The geographical conditions, resource disparity and dispersed industrial development make transport infrastructure, particularly roads, yet a critical necessity.

2. Road infrastructure in Madhya Pradesh: As of 2018, the state has a road network of about 63,637 km. About 7,806 km are national highways, 11,060 km are state highways, 22,412 km are MDRs, and the balance are other district roads and village roads. The existing road capacity is unable to cope with growing numbers of vehicle ownership (average annual vehicle registration rate of 10.3% 11.14 million vehicles in 2016).

3. Some road sections are also subject to frequent flooding during monsoon season, causing accelerates road surface deterioration, congestion, limits access to goods and services, and compromises road safety.

4. The Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP), in its road sector master plan for 2013–2033, sets a vision (aligned with the agenda of the Government of ) to connect all regional and district headquarters by two lane roads and to connect all the villages by all- weather motor able roads to enhance connectivity, road safety, and quality.

5. ADB’s engagement with the road sector in Madhya Pradesh. Since 2002, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has provided the government with five loans to develop the state’s road network. Three project loans for state highways and one for MDRs have been completed, and one project loan for MDRs is ongoing (including an accident response system and an accident insurance scheme). In the five prior ADB loans, about 7,300 km of roads (11% of state roads) have been developed.

6. Use of hybrid–annuity model (HAM): The first HAM project by MPRDC is a mix of the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) model and the build–operate–transfer (BOT) annuity model. The model was introduced by the M.P. state government in January 2016 to revive private sector investments in road infrastructure projects under Public Private Partnership arrangements with the aim to bring in private sector efficiencies for sustainable asset creation and maintenance. For this project, the government or its agency will release 60% of the total project cost during construction, which will be paid to the concessionaire in tranches linked to completion milestones. The remaining 40% is arranged by the concessionaire, usually 20%–25% (from equity), and the remaining as debt. Once the project is completed, the government will pay the concessionaire’s share of the total project cost in fixed annuity payments over the next 10 years.

7. Alignment with ADB’s Strategy: The project is consistent with the operational priorities of ADB’s Strategy 2030: (i) reducing poverty and inequality, (ii) accelerating progress in gender equality, (iii) tackling climate change, and (iv) promoting rural development. The project is also consistent with the India’s partnership strategy 2018–2022 to provide inclusive access to infrastructure networks and services by strengthening PPP institutions and promoting improved contractual modalities.

8. The Project was approved in principally by ADB on September 2018. The Project loan agreement was approved by ADB on December, 2019 and declared effective from January 2020.

9. The total project cost US$ 904.00 Million comprises of base cost US$ 785.50 Million (including US$ 289.5 Million for state highways up gradation to two lane and all weather 2 roads and US$ 490 Million for single lane major district roads upgraded to two lane all weather roads). The other cost of project amounting US$ 71.0 for contingencies and financial charges US$ 47.5 Million.

10. Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a project loan of US$ 490 Million for the rehabilitation and upgrade of about 1600 Km of single lane state highways and major district roads in the state of Madhya Pradesh to two lane and all weather roads. Private sector investment will be US$ 286 Million and state government is expected to contribute US$128 million. The project aims to improve transport connectivity by upgrading newly declared SH and MDRs to two lane width in public private partnership in M.P. road sector project in line with the state’s road development plan for duration year 2013–2033.

11. Impact and outcome: The project is aligned to improve mobility and connectivity in India. The outcome will be improved road transport efficiency and safety within Madhya Pradesh.

12. Outputs: The project outputs will be (i) state highways upgraded to two-lane and all- weather roads, (ii) single-lane major district roads upgraded to two-lane and all-weather roads, and (iii) capacity for hybrid–annuity model implementation and road asset maintenance and management improved.

13. MPRDC has selected 50 roads stretches under 31 packages (packages-A has 11 contracts, packages-B has 11 contracts and packages–C has 9 contracts) with total length of 1522.69 km. All the 31 packages are scattered across the state.

III. Implementation of Environmental Management Plan:

17. The IEE duly showed that the environmental impact would mostly occur during construction due to clearing for widening the carriageway, construction work related to compaction of the embankment and cut and fill, as well as the quarrying and borrowing to support construction activity. The environment category for all roads projects is “B”. During implementation, MPRDC implemented the overall mitigation measures. Environmental and Social Cell of MPRDC is responsible for monitoring of EMP implementation. MPRDC and Civil works contractors obtained/obtaining all permissions required from related government agencies, as per construction applicable, statutory environmental regulations to enable them to carry out without violating country rules and regulations. MPRDC through its Environmental Safeguard Expert and the PIU Staff are closely monitoring the implementation of environmental issues of all packages. Regular site visits and review meetings are being held with the nominated Environmental Officers of Contractor’s staff of each project. In addition to this, for effective day to day supervision of implementation of environmental aspects with the designated site staff (site engineer) to look after these aspects. The contractors have appointed /nominated safety officer at their construction sites to take care of safety aspects of construction sites. Structure of Institutional setup to monitor EMP implementation on each project is being shown below:

Environmental Safeguard Expert

18. The PIU submit Monthly/Quarterly progress report to MPRDC that includes information on implementation of environmental issues. The environmental information, captured in these reports includes environmental monitoring status of construction sites, pollution control measure being adopted, and measures for workers safety at construction site and camp site, safety of road user/public etc. The PIU has assessed the implementation of EMP during the reporting period as satisfactory. However, safety arrangements, traffic management and usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) by the construction workers in all packages need to be improved further.

19. The PIU has instructed the contractor to organize HIV/AIDS awareness and health check-up campaigns at project sites with the aim to reduce transmission risk of HIV infection among the construction workers and population living along the project roads.

IV. Approach and Methodology for environmental parameters monitoring

20. The PIU has instructed the civil work contractors to ensure the monitoring of ambient air quality, water quality and noise level as per the agreed environmental monitoring plans. As per ”Environmental Monitoring Plan,” The contractor shall carry out periodic monitoring of Environmental attributes such as Air quality, Water (Surface water and ground water) Quality and Noise quality at the predefined locations through hired external monitoring agency which must be accredited with NABL/SPCB/ CPCB. The sampling location for these components based on the monitoring stations with reference to IEE report and environmental sensitive locations like school, hospital, construction sites, pollution sources, discharge points, camp sites, forest area (If any) etc. have been identified. The details on environmental components, parameters, methodology, duration of monitoring and instruments are described in following table.

V. Details of Redressal committee and complaints received from public and actions taken thereof to resolve.

21. The GRC (Grievance Redressal Committee) for both state (MPRDC) and Divisional level (PIU) have been constituted. In addition, a register of grievances is also placed in construction camp to register people’s grievances, but the grievances related to environmental issues were not received till the end of reporting period.

VI. Action Plan for COVID Prevention and Control

22. COVID-19 illness tuned to a pandemic covering major part of the global engraved roots in India and Madhya Pradesh in the month of March 2020. However, ADB surveillance to pandemic was started with the world health organization’s guidelines that was evident from the correspondences of ADB officials. Commencement of nationwide lockdown on 22 March was the leap day to think about the progress of construction work and implementation of environmental, health and safety of person associated in the ADB funded project MPDRIISP of MPRDC. Following the national guidelines for work cessation during first lockdown all ongoing project works was terminated temporarily. Then after, MPRDC officials has formulated standard operating procedures to resume the work related to onsite road construction as well as official works. The SOP was well informed to ADB before actual implementation. All the PIU & Staff and contractor were asked to develop the action plan to be implemented during the normal working hours of unlocked period. MPRDC ensured that the action plan submitted by the consultant and contractor are as per national and international guidelines to provide utmost safety against the spread of COVID 19 diseases. Reporting of safety measures implemented to combat COVID related diseases and compliance of protective measures enlisted in SOP are made mandatory in monthly progress reports as well as during the official meetings. A sample of COVID prevention action check list is attached (Annexure III). Also attached is the status of action taken from civil work contractors.
