Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said that the highways ministry will shift to quality-cum-cost based system for the selection of bids for different road construction-related projects in place of the age-old least-cost selection process.
The step is aimed at improving the quality of different infrastructure-related works in India, the minister said at an event organised by the International Road Federation (IRF).
Road engineering solutions must be taken care of while preparing Detailed Project Reports (DPR), said the union minister.
