NTH, NHAI Sign MoU to Strengthen Highway Quality

National Test House has recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Highways Authority of India to strengthen quality control and third-party testing across national highway and infrastructure projects. The collaboration supports the Government of India’s focus on delivering safer, more durable and high-quality road infrastructure.

The MoU was signed at NHAI’s headquarters in New Delhi in the presence of senior officials from both organisations. Under the agreement, NTH will be empanelled as a recognised laboratory for NHAI, enabling highway construction and allied work samples to be tested through NTH’s nationwide network of regional laboratories and satellite centres, including Ghaziabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Jaipur, Guwahati, Bengaluru and Varanasi.

NTH will provide scientific, impartial test results within defined timelines through its online MIS portal as well as physical reports. The framework also enables online test requests and payments, coordination through designated nodal officers, and participation of NTH experts in NHAI technical committees.

As part of the collaboration, both organisations will jointly conduct training programmes, workshops and capacity-building initiatives for NHAI officials. NTH will also support the strengthening of testing facilities within NHAI laboratories, wherever required.

Established in 1912 under the Department of Consumer Affairs, National Test House brings over a century of experience in scientific testing and quality assurance. The partnership is expected to enhance transparency, standardisation and efficiency in quality assurance processes, contributing to improved safety, performance and longevity of national highways.
