CONSTRAINTS IN
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
NHDP
Land Acquisition
Inordinate delay in some States due to procedural formalities, court
cases and low level cooperation from the State Govt. officials.
Delays in disbursement of compensation by the Competent
Authority to the affected land owners, despite full compensation
deposited by NHAI in advance.
The procedure of Land Acquisition has now been simplified
• Earlier all notifications to be vetted by Min of Law.
• Now this requirement dispensed with after approval of standard
formats for notifications.
Environment and Forest Clearances
Considerable delays experienced in obtaining environment and forest
clearance.
Apart from conditions stipulated by Central Government (MoEF) State
Forest Departments are imposing additional conditions
Non – uniform rules for compensatory afforestation
Unreasonable Net Present Value (NPV) being demanded by some States,
including for diverted forest land.
Protracted procedural delays in obtaining wild life clearances where
alignment passes near wild life areas.
Obtaining various clearances require coordination with State Forest
Departments, MoEF, State Pollution Control Boards etc. No single window
clearance is available.
Clearance of Railways for ROB Designs
Under NHDP Phase I & II and other projects about 229 Rail Over Bridges
(ROB) /Rail Under Bridges (RUB) have to be constructed. Approvals have to
be obtained from Railways for the following
• General Agreement Drawing (GAD) submitted by NHAI
• Permission of the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) for
shifting of level crossing.
• Approval of detailed designs and drawings of sub structures and
super structures submitted by NHAI after proof checking by
consultants
• Approval of drawings for temporary arrangement
• CRS sanction for super structures.
Above activities involve coordination with several departments within
Railways.
Other problems
Shifting of Utilities
Local law and order problems
Poor performance by the Contractor
STEPS TAKEN FOR EARLY COMPLETION OF THE
PROJECTS
Contracts are regularly monitored at various levels
State Governments have appointed senior officers as Nodal
officers for coordination and resolving issues concerning
implementation of NHDP.
Committee of Secretaries (CoS) constituted under Cabinet
Secretary to address Inter-Ministerial and Centre State issues.
To expedite clearance from Railways an officer of Railway
has been appointed on deputation in NHAI.
Cont….
Contd….
Strict action is being taken against non-performing
contractors like imposition of liquidated damages , debarring for
participation in future NHAI projects until they improve their
performance and termination of contracts.
Various Steps taken to improve cash flow problems of
contractors.
• Grant of interest bearing discretionary advance.
• Release of retention money against BG of equal amount
• Deferment of recovery of advances
• Relaxation in minimum IPC amount.
