Value additions need to be emphasized during project Implementation to ensure that state governments gain benefits from them. Although the design was appropriate, the dropping of a few outputs related to project value additions could have been avoided if the state governments had given them due consideration and importance. These value additions could have supported the participating states in mobility planning, event management, development of guidelines, and site management plan for effective tourist management.

India's policy on land acquisition needs an amendment in cases where sufficient land for improvement is not voluntarily available. This would allow for permission te be granted outside the scope of the policy, as necessary. As of 2022, the Prime Minister’s Rural Roads Program (PMGSY)is being implemented with no land acquisition. Where land is required, only voluntary-based possession is allowed. If sufficient land cannot be pooled on a voluntary basis, a geometric design is used as a compromise. However, these locations may become accident black spots.

It may be necessary for state governments to consider special incentives to attract engineers. Under this project, some rural road network management units were not fully functional because of a lukewarm response from the department engineers about working in these networks. Relatedly, the states also need to further strengthen their capacity to fully utilize e-MARG, a web-based monitoring application system that enhanced efficiency, improved quality, and brought transparency to the maintenance of the project roads,

Specific attributes of the internal and external environments that could impact project Implementation need to be carefully considered and addressed in project design. For example, the construction of the water treatment plant in one site (Aizawl) faced challenges because of the involvement of multiple agencies, difficult terrain, and an environment prone to natural disasters. The project’s complexity warranted meticulous planning. The Completion and commissioning of the construction works should have been complemented by a public awareness campaign.
