All contractors of National Highway (NH) projects now need to carry out video recordings of progress using drones till the completion of construction for strict monitoring of works. In the case of projects implemented under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) where private players put their investment, they also need to carry out the video recording every six months during the operation and maintenance period. The NHAI has made it mandatory for the concessionaire or private developer of HAM projects to have a website for each project and they will have to put the updates and upload the monthly drone footage that people can see. According to the circular, non-compliance will attract a penalty of ₹5 lakh and has been initiated to ensure that the projects are completed in time and all issues are sorted out quickly. The drone footage can also be used for dispute resolution, during arbitrations and in case of court cases as these can be used as proof.
