NHIDCL To Take Over All NHAI Projects In Meghalaya

08 May 2026 CW Team

The National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) will assume responsibility for all road projects in Meghalaya that are presently under the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), according to reporting on the planned transfer. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has directed the NHAI to hand over the remaining projects to the NHIDCL and officials are preparing for the administrative change. The move forms part of a broader shift in which NHIDCL has been entrusted with the development of new highway corridors in the region.

NHIDCL is already managing 17 road projects in the state, seven of which are complete while 10 remain under construction. The NHAI currently maintains two major stretches, namely Umiam-Jorabat and Jowai-Ratacherra, and those roads will remain under consideration during the transfer process. All other new highway developments have been executed or are being executed by the NHIDCL over recent years.

Sources said a meeting has been scheduled in the coming days to finalise the transition arrangements and to address operational responsibilities between the agencies. If the proposal obtains formal approval, the NHAI is expected to transfer the responsibility for the two stretches to the NHIDCL within this month. Officials are now preparing handover documentation, timetables and coordination plans to minimise disruption to ongoing construction activity.

The administrative realignment is intended to streamline decision making and concentrate project execution under a single agency, which could help expedite completion of remaining works and improve oversight. State authorities and contractors will be involved in the transition to ensure continuity of construction and maintenance activities. Observers noted that clearer lines of responsibility may also assist in better resource allocation and monitoring of project timelines.
