Road DPR Threshold May Increase to Rs.0.5 Mn/km

The government is considering raising the threshold for preparing Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for roads to ?0.5 million per kilometre, as confirmed by a senior government official. This move is aimed at streamlining the process and ensuring cost efficiency in infrastructure development projects.

Currently, the threshold stands at ?0.1 million per kilometre. By increasing it to ?5 lakh per kilometre, the government aims to reduce the administrative burden associated with preparing DPRs for smaller road projects. This adjustment is expected to bring about greater efficiency in project planning and implementation.

According to the official, this proposed change will particularly benefit small and medium-sized road projects, allowing resources to be allocated more effectively. By setting a higher threshold, the government aims to focus its attention and resources on projects with a greater impact and significance, thereby optimizing the utilization of funds allocated for infrastructure development.

Moreover, the adjustment in the threshold for DPR preparation aligns with the government's broader agenda of promoting ease of doing business and expediting infrastructure development across the country. It reflects a strategic approach to streamline administrative processes and facilitate the timely execution of critical infrastructure projects.

Overall, the proposal to raise the threshold for road DPR preparation to ?0.5 million per kilometre signifies a commitment to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of infrastructure development initiatives. If implemented, this measure is expected to contribute to smoother project execution and enhanced outcomes in the road transportation sector.
