NHAI Limits Project Allocation per Engineer to Ten

18 Jun 2025 CW Team

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has announced a new policy limiting the number of active projects assigned to each engineer to a maximum of ten. The decision aims to enhance supervision, improve construction quality, and eliminate delays across the national highway network.

Rapid infrastructure expansion has increased the workload on NHAI’s engineering teams, leading to uneven oversight. Under the new directive, no engineer will be responsible for more than ten projects simultaneously, ensuring focus and detailed attention to each assignment.

By reducing the project load per engineer, NHAI expects improved monitoring of contractor performance, stricter adherence to timelines and specifications, and faster resolution of field issues. This also aligns with the Authority’s broader quality assurance strategy that includes regular audits and technological monitoring tools.

Officials confirm that the measure is being implemented nationwide in phases, beginning with regions exhibiting complex construction requirements or quality concerns. The policy will be monitored through internal and external audits to ensure effective outcomes.

This initiative is anticipated to streamline national highway development, enhance accountability, and improve overall delivery standards. For stakeholders—road users, local authorities, and contractors—the policy marks a step towards a more reliable and safe road infrastructure.
