Western Transport Corridor Project

The National Highways Authority of India undertook several measures towards achieving project readiness such as (i) project preparation using its own funds; (ii) deployment of a project team at its headquarters and field office during the initial stage to supervise project preparation and undertake procurement activities and pre-construction activities; and (iii) advance action on civil works procurement, recruitment of construction supervision consultants, and pre-construction activities such as shifting of utilities, cutting of trees, and land acquisition. All the contracts were awarded within 5 months from the Board approval for the project..
