The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has asked NHAI and states to striÂctly adopt e-tendering system for better transparency in highways projects, saying it is not being properly implemented. All executing agencies will have to follow the e-tendering system on mandatory basis for all NH works and for other ceÂntrally sponsored schemes with effect from January 2012.
The system of e-tendering would also apply to the National Highway Development Programme (NHDP), Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) projects on the national highways. E-tendering which is aimÂed at improving transparency and speeÂding up the bidding process for national highways, was introduced by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in May this year and all the projects after August were processed throÂugh the e-tendering route.
