Indicator Summary
The Length of State Highways refers to the total distance covered by roads designated as State Highways within a particular state or region. These highways form a critical component of a country’s road network, connecting essential cities, districts, and towns within the state and sometimes linking them to National Highways. Managed and maintained by the respective state governments, State Highways are designed to support moderate to high traffic volumes and facilitate intra-state connectivity for economic and social activities. Their length varies significantly across states, depending on geographic size, topography, population density, and developmental priorities. In India, for instance, the cumulative length of State Highways across states is a key indicator of infrastructure development and accessibility. Efficient maintenance and expansion of State Highways are vital for fostering regional growth, enhancing trade, and improving access to essential services like education and healthcare.
