Dear All,
As per EIA Notification 2006 and its amendment on 22nd August 2013, highway expansion projects require Environmental Clearance if, Expansion of National Highways greater than 100 km involving additional right of way or land acquisition greater than 40 m on existing alignments and 60m on re-alignments or by-passes.
Kindly clarify the interpretation of this.
1. Whether highway expansion greater than 100 km and more than 40 m additional ROW require EC.
OR
2. Whether highway expansion greater 100 km irrespective of width of ROW require EC.
In view of this, whether expansion of 150 km long highway with 30 m additional ROW need EC or not?

Yes, explained with good observations.
