With arbitration claims nearing ₹1 trillion as of March 2025 and hundreds of disputes pending, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is tightening its three-tier dispute resolution process. These claims account for roughly 40% of both NHAI's liabilities and its planned FY25 capex, which are ₹2.5 trillion each.
In an internal order dated 12 June and seen by Mint, the state-run highway developer said some contractors were bypassing the Dispute Resolution Board (DRB) and directly approaching the Conciliation Committee of Independent Experts (CCIE), violating contract terms.
