Madhya Pradesh State Roads Project III

The state government could introduce investment schemes considering the industry capacity; take measures to make the business environment more attractive; and conduct business opportunity events and road shows to improve participation by good contractors. Implementation delays are not uncommon in India. With the rapid expansion of road construction and maintenance needs in the country, the availability and capacity of domestic contractors is inadequate. It is suggested that contract packaging, contract completion periods, and overall project implementation periods be rationalized, bearing in mind the general capacity in the contracting industry. For example, bids could be staggered.
