1. TYPES OF ROADS FUNDED BY KIIFB
KIIFB shall undertake the funding of two main types of road/highway projects viz., new
formation and upgradation of road/highway projects which include improvement/strengthening
and/or widening works.
Among the afore mentioned types of road/highway projects, the funding shall be restricted to
the following categories of road/highway projects
State Highways
Bypass (to NH / SH / MDRs) / Ring road Projects
Hill Highway
Coastal Highway
Other KIIFB Roads
City Roads (Arterial Roads)
2. STAGES IN PROJECT PREPARATION
The stages involved in the preparation and sanction of road projects are:
