The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) may have to provide around `500-crore compensation to the build-operate-transfer (BOT) concessionaires operating national highways in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi-NCR. This follows its decision to declare farmers’ agitation which impacted toll collection as an indirect political force majeure event.
The move will also mean extension of the concession period equal to the period during which the concessionaire was prevented from collection of toll fee.
