NHAI tightens norms to curb ‘unathorised’ subcontracting of works by highway builders
NEW DELHI: In a move to ensure quality project execution and reduce delays, NHAI has tightened the norms to check “unathorised” subcontracting of works by main highway builders. It has said that any “unauthorised sub-contracting and subcontracting beyond permissible limits will be classified as ‘undesirable practice’ and thereby attracting penalties on par with fraudulent practices”.
The changes in the bid document have been made months after the issue of subcontracting at multiple levels was raised at a meeting chaired by PM Narendra Modi.
