The ambitious east-west peripheral expressway project is in danger of getting stuck again. The project, to be funded by the governments of Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, and awaiting implementation even five years after it was conceived, may get delayed again as the Haryana government has made clear its inability to fund the project. The Rs 3,600 crore project is in two parts, east and west. While the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is funding the eastern corridor, the three state governments are funding the western corridor. Of the Rs 1,745 crore, which is the total cost of the western corridor, Delhi is supposed to dole out Rs 422 crore, of which it has already given Rs 147 crore. UP and Haryana are to divide the rest of the amount among themselves. The viability gap is to be funded by the ministry of roads, highways and shipping.
