Effective from June 1, 2025, the new guidelines aim to streamline project execution, preventing cost overruns and contractual disputes. Currently, 55% of road projects are delayed, mainly due to land and clearance bottlenecks. As per the new rules, over 90% of the right of way (ROW) must be acquired before bid receipt, and environmental, wildlife, and forest clearances must be completed at specific stages. A Care Ratings report highlights that 55% of the 374 road projects, worth Rs 1 lakh crore, are delayed beyond six months as of December 2024.
