Highway builders to get negative marks for substandard work in rating
NEW DELHI: Highway contractors and concessionaires not meeting project quality standards will get up to 30 negative marks — a penalty that will lower their ratings and make it more difficult for them to secure new contracts in the future. Conversely, contractors who complete projects on time and maintain high quality will receive 30 and 40 marks, respectively.
Under the framework for ‘Contractor/Concessionaire Rating System for NH Projects”, unveiled by the road transport ministry on Thursday, the maximum score will be 100 and the rating exercise will be held annually.
