The delays are only in
the projects implemented under BOT mode and as such cost-overruns not
attributed to the NHAI.
The steps
taken by the Government to minimize the delays in completion of all its
projects include setting up of Regional Offices by NHAI headed
by Chief General Managers with adequate delegation of powers, setting up of
special land acquisition units, setting up of High Powered Committees under the
Chairmanship of Chief Secretaries of State Governments to resolve the
bottlenecks relating to shifting of utilities, land acquisition issues, etc.
Further, the delayed projects are closely monitored and periodically reviewed
at the headquarter as well as in the field units for expeditious completion.

Monetisation
Scheme for National Highway Projects
The Ministry of
Road Transport and Highways is considering monetisation of completed public
funded national highway (NH) projects through Toll-Operate-Transfer (TOT) mode
based on the expected collection of user fee receivables. NH Projects to be bid
out under this mode will be finalised once the model is approved by the
Government. However, no specific timeline could be ascertained at this stage.
Various steps have been taken by the Government/ NHAI to remove the hurdles affecting the construction of NH projects including streamlining of land acquisition and regulatory clearances, close coordination with other ministries, revamped Disputes Resolution Mechanism etc. NHAI has also decided not to award projects till all major pre-construction approvals are in-place for the project in order to avoid post bid delays and litigations.
