Madurai - Tuticorin NH Project Exempted from Standard Procedures to Speed-up process.

The Union Cabinet's Committee on Economic Affairs, which also met on Thursday, decided to exempt 12 sub-projects under the National Highways Development Project from going through the procedures of the Public Private Partnership Appraisal Committee as the bids for them had been either already decided or awarded.

The bids had already been awarded in the case of eight sub-projects: Gwalior bypass, and Tindivanam-Ulundurpet, Ulundur-Padalur, Padalur-Tiruchi, Thanjavur-Tiruchi, Madurai-Tuticorin, Jhansi-Lalitpur, and Lakhnadon-Madhya Pradesh/ Maharashtra border sections.
