A regulatory Authority to Remove Bottlenecks in Road Sector to be
Constituted
The Finance Minister Finance, Shri P Chidambaram said in his
Budget speech in Lok Sabha today that the road construction sector has reached
a certain level of maturity. But it faces challenges not envisaged earlier,
including financial stress, enhanced construction risk and contract management
issues, that are best addressed by an independent authority. Hence, Government
has decided to constitute a regulatory authority for the road sector.
Bottlenecks stalling road projects have been addressed and 3,000 Kms of road
projects in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh
will be awarded in the first six months of 2013-14, Shri Chidambaram added.
