Project
Sluggish/Awarding Slowdown

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has experienced a slowdown in awarding road construction contracts due to new stricter bidding norms introduced by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways. These new rules require additional performance securities to discourage aggressive underbidding by financially weaker players, leading to a dominance of well-funded infrastructure firms in bids.
