India's Road Ministry Digitizes Project Sanction Process

In a bid to enhance efficiency and transparency in the country's road infrastructure development, India's Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has introduced a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for digitising the sanction of projects nationwide. The initiative aims to streamline the approval process, reducing bureaucratic hurdles and ensuring faster implementation of road projects across the country.

Under the new SOP, all proposals for road projects will be processed digitally, eliminating the need for physical files and paperwork. This move is expected to not only expedite the approval process but also minimise delays and discrepancies often associated with manual paperwork.

Furthermore, the digitization of project sanctioning will enable better monitoring and tracking of projects at various stages of development. It will facilitate real-time updates and data sharing among stakeholders, including government departments, contractors, and consultants, thus promoting greater accountability and oversight.

The digitization initiative aligns with the government's broader agenda of leveraging technology to modernise governance and infrastructure development processes. By embracing digital platforms for project approvals, the Road Ministry aims to foster greater transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the execution of road infrastructure projects, ultimately contributing to the nation's economic growth and development.
