NHAI sets up a cell to review the project of national highways

According to a formal announcement released on Thursday, the state-owned NHAI established a specific cell to examine comprehensive project files for national highway projects. The statement went on to say that the cell will facilitate end-to-end monitoring of the DPR (detailed project report) for federal highway projects and offer expert comments. "To ensure the highest construction standards, cost effectiveness, and timely completion of National Highway projects, NHAI has set up a Detailed Project Report (DPR) cell at NHAI headquarters in New Delhi," it stated. The statement claims that the cell will guarantee that high-quality DPRs are generated and assessed prior to project execution and will assist in bringing uniformity to the DPR review process. A DPR, which consists of several surveys, investigations, and project-related designs, is crucial to the National Highway project's effective execution. A specialised team of about forty professionals, including principal DPR experts, numerous domain experts for road safety, traffic, land acquisition, bridges, tunnels, geotechnical experts, senior highway experts, and forest specialists, would make up the DPR cell, according to the statement.
