The Central Road and Infrastructure Fund Act, 2000
The Central Road and Infrastructure Fund Act, 2000, regulates the establishment and management of a dedicated national fund financed by a levy on petrol and diesel. It applies to fuel producers, importers, and government entities across India managing public works. This legislation matters because it guarantees that fuel tax revenues are secured and spent exclusively on constructing and upgrading critical development projects. These investments include national highways, rural roads, railway crossings, power grids, telecommunications, clean water systems, affordable housing, and healthcare facilities. Ultimately, the act fuels national progress by ensuring public money directly builds a stronger, more connected modern economy.
