New Delhi: To enhance accountability and assess the quality of construction and maintenance of National Highways, NHAI has introduced a comprehensive rating system for performance assessment of the Concessionaires engaged in the National Highway development and maintenance.
A detailed methodology for rating the concessioners has been formulated by NHAI under which concessioners will be evaluated every six months and ratings will be uploaded on NHAI website and its social media handles.
The Assessment Methodology will be based on Pavement Condition Index (PCI) as well as Defect rectification compliance on NHAI One App where over 95 defects can be notified and monitored digitally shall also form a part of rating assessment. Eighty Percent weightage would be given to PCI and Twenty percent weightage would be given to compliance on NHAI One App.
As per the assessed ‘Concessionaire Rating Value’, Concessionaires will be divided under different categories. Contractors scoring less than 70 out of 100 rating will be declared ‘non-performers’, thus becoming ineligible to secure new National Highway projects till improvement in its rating.
