The Delhi High Court has directed National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to pay Rs 750 crore to West Haryana Highways Projects Private Limited (WHHPPL).
WHHPPL was awarded a Concession Agreement (CA) by the NHAI on Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer (DBFOT )Toll basis for widening of existing two lane highway and also constructions of two new bypass roads.
Although WHHPPL substantially completed the work and the toll was operational in 2014, NHAI did not declare the completion of project. Further, WHHPPL suffered huge losses due to project overrun, its legal counsel argued. WHHPPL was represented by Singh & Associates. Further, on January 7, the Delhi HC asked NHAI to award this compensation to WHHPPL within a month.
