NHAI grapples with new technology to prepare DPRs
Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has highlighted that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is currently facing challenges in creating detailed project reports (DPRs) due to the reluctance among companies to adopt new technology. He elaborated that there are no perfect DPRs in any project, and the companies responsible for DPR preparation are hesitant to embrace innovations in technology, research, and development. As a result, the existing DPR standards are often subpar, leading to additional scope of work in various projects.
