About the Awards

To incentivize the key stakeholders in the highway construction and maintenance process, Ministry
of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) intends to recognise and award agencies for the best
performing road assets and toll plazas across the country. This is part of the larger objective of
strengthening and augmenting the road infrastructure in the country, which is a top priority of our
government.

Recognising companies, who are performing exceptionally and delivering finest quality services
during construction, operations, tolling and maintenance stages of the highway project, would
encourage all companies in the sector to improve the quality of service.

The Annual Road Awards are designed across five categories to identify the niche players, who
have adhered to construction and operational guidelines, upheld high quality and safety standards,
and employed innovation and sustainable practices in their work. The five categories as follows: the
first category, Excellence in Construction Management acknowledges efficient use of resources
along with finest quality standards and smooth execution of all milestones of the project. The second
category, Excellence in Operation & Maintenance recognises projects with swift and smooth
execution of maintenance works, inspections and unparalleled quality in riding experience. The third
category, Best Toll Plaza focuses on automation and efficient management of traffic and services at
the plaza. The fourth category, Safe Highwayackowledges commendable work done to reduce road
casualties and establish preventative safety measures and emergency response services. The last
category, Innovationfocuses on significant achievement in devising or adapting a new construction
technology or structural and geometric design.

The best performers would be selected based on multiple rounds of rigourous assessment.
Detailed, category-specific evaluation frameworks have been developed for this assessment.The
companies would nominate themselves on an online portal by uploading the project information and
documents specific to the award category. In the first round, the validatity and propriety of the
submitted data would be verified and evaluated by trained officials. This would be followed by the
second round, which involves an on-site inspection of the shortlisted applicants. The finalists would
present to an expert jury panel in the third round. The final winners would be endorsed by MoRTH.
