Project Importance and Impact
The RSHIP Packages 03 and 04 significantly enhance state highway connectivity in Rajasthan, improving access between rural areas, growth centres and major transport corridors. Upgraded highways reduce travel time, vehicle operating costs and accident risks, while supporting movement of agricultural produce, industrial goods and passenger traffic.

By adopting PPP and annuity-based delivery models, the project ensures sustainable asset creation, long-term maintenance and service quality. Funded by Asian Development Bank (ADB) the improved road network contributes to regional economic development, investment promotion and improved mobility, supporting the Government of Rajasthan’s vision for resilient and efficient road infrastructure.
