What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The National Highways Authority of India introduced a new policy requiring independent design checking for major bridges and critical structures under its projects. This system applies to all new Engineering, Procurement and Construction, Hybrid Annuity Model, and Build-Operate-Transfer National Highway projects starting December 1. Empanelled Indian Institutes of Technology, government technical institutions, and experienced technical firms will verify designs against Indian Roads Congress codes. The policy specifically covers major bridges with a design discharge of 3,000 cubic metres per second or more.

The move aims to strengthen safety, durability, and quality assurance across national highway infrastructure. By mandating independent verification, NHAI is formalizing the use of specialized technical expertise for critical infrastructure projects. This policy increases the demand for technical expertise in bridge engineering and hydraulic studies.
