Gadkari wants more powers to NHAI, unhappy with project progress

Hindustan Times  

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari today said the National Highways Authority of India should have more powers to fast-track road projects while expressing unhappiness over its overall performance. New Delhi: Union Road Transport, Highways and Shipping Minister Nitin Gadkari speaks during the launch of a curtain-raiser event on India Integrated Transport & Logistics Summit in New Delhi on Wednesday. The NHAI board at present proposes a highway project which is cleared by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways before Cabinet approval if the project amount is less than Rs 1,000 crore. Rating agency ICRA has recently said that NHAI is likely to miss the target for awarding and execution of road projects by a “wide margin”.
