Proposal to relax eligibility norms for highway projects to ensure larger participation by developers
NEW DELHI: The government has proposed to relax financial as well as technical eligibility criteria for highway projects to encourage increased participation of developers amid COVID-19 pandemic.
To overcome delays in highways construction, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has already issued some relaxations under AatmaNirbhar Scheme to contractors for the ongoing as well as yet- to-start projects, besides providing some relaxation to bidders in performance security.
