The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has decided to put up 19
highway projects worth Rs 23,805 crore for rebidding in May 2009 through a new
short-listing process, after it failed to get bids for over half of its highway
projects last year.
The project covering 2,248 km, will be offered through a two-stage process
under which all companies that have been technically qualified will now be able
to offer their financial bids.
The projects are also being restructured from the BOT model to either a BOT-
EPC or an annuity model that will decrease toll considerably and help reduce the
risk for companies involved in these projects.
The details of the 19 projects are:
