The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has announced a new system to rate companies that build and take care of national highways. This system is aimed at making sure roads are built well and are safe for travelers.
Here’s how it works: Each company will get a score based on their performance. They will be rated from “excellent” to “failed.” If a company scores below 70 out of 100, they will be called a ‘non-performer’ and won’t be allowed to get new highway projects until they improve their score.
The ratings will be updated every six months. This will happen at two levels: for each project and for the overall company. You can find the scores on the NHAI website and social media.
To calculate these scores, NHAI will consider the condition of the road and how well the company fixes any issues. 80% of the score will come from something called the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), while 20% will come from how well the company uses the NHAI One App to report and fix problems.
The PCI will check for things like bumps, potholes, cracks, and other issues on the road. Special technologies, like laser measurements, will be used to ensure accuracy.
