**Executive Summary**
The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways/NHAI is formulating a rating system for contractor/concessionaire firms engaged in National Highway projects. The office memorandum invites public comments on the proposed criteria. Comments and suggestions must be submitted by December 18, 2025, to sosandr-333@gov.in.
**Key Points / Main Content**
* **Purpose:** To develop a rating system/criterion for contractor/concessionaire firms engaged in National Highways works.
* **Need for Contractor Rating:**
* Assessment of actual performance of Contractors/Concessionaire in objective terms
* Identification of performers and non-performers
* Prepare Policy to Incentivise/ Disincentivise Contractors/Concessionaire firms
* **Eligibility of Projects for Rating:**
* All EPC/HAM/BOT Projects with Completion/Provisional Completion issued in the last 3 years.
* All EPC/HAM/BOT Projects for which 180 days have elapsed since the last Appointed Date and are on-going.
* **Rating Methodology:**
* Contracts will be divided into three classes based on project cost (excluding GST): 100-300 Cr, 300-1000 Cr, and above 1000 Cr.
* Projects matching the eligibility criteria shall be scored objectively.
* Rating of EPC and HAM projects will be done together, while BOT projects will be rated separately.
* JV members or stakeholders with more than 26% stake in the project will receive the same rating as the project.
* Individual rated projects shall be normalized to calculate the rating of contractors/concessionaires.
* Rating will be done annually, first for eligible projects up to Feb 15, and rated by March 31st, and then for eligible projects up to November 15, and rated by December 31st every year.
* **Normalisation Factors:**
* Project mode weightage factor for EPC, HAM, and BOT projects.
* Project cost weightage factor for different project classes.
* Specialized projects weightage factor for bridges with varying spans.
* **Rating Criteria:**
* Rating based on seven parameters: Timely Completion (30%), Quality (40%), Maintenance (10%), Safety (5%), Dispute (3%), Sub-Contracting (2%), Overall Performance & User Rating (10%) and deduction for poor quality (-30%).
* Detailed marking schemes for each parameter, including Timely Project Completion (30 Marks), Quality of Work (40 Marks), and deduction for poor quality (-30), are outlined.
**Impact Analysis**
**NIC:**
*Impact* The document requires uploading on the Ministry website under "what's new" or an appropriate section to gather public comments.
*Action Required:* Upload the document to the website.

*Impact* The document requires uploading on the NHAI website for stakeholder comments.
*Action Required:* Upload the document to the NHAI website.
**Managing Director, NHIDCL:**
*Impact* The document requires uploading on the NHIDCL website for stakeholder comments.
*Action Required:* Upload the document to the NHIDCL website.
**Contractors/Concessionaires:**
*Impact* The rating system will directly impact how their performance is evaluated, potentially affecting future project opportunities.
*Action Required:* Review the proposed rating criteria and submit comments/suggestions to sosandr-333@gov.in by December 18, 2025.

Concept Note on Contractor Rating predominantly during construction period
Need:
1. Assessment of actual performance of Contractors/Concessionaire in objective terms.
2. Identification of performers and non-performers
3. Prepare Policy to Incentivise/ Disincentivise Contractors/Concessionaire firms
A. Eligibility of Projects-
(i)All EPC/HAM/BOT Projects with Completion/Provisional Completion issued in last 3 years.
(ii) All EPC/HAM/BOT Projects for which 180 days have elapsed since last Appointed Date and is on-going
B. Rating Methodology-
(i) For the purpose of Rating, the contracts would be divided into three classes i.e. projects starting from 100 cr upto 300 Cr, projects more than
300 Cr and upto 1000 Cr and projects more than 1000 Cr (all awarded price excluding GST to be considered). Accordingly, Rating of
contractors/concessionaire would also be done in classes.
(ii) All projects matching the eligibility defined above shall be scored objectively.
(iii) Rating of EPC and HAM projects shall be done together whereas Rating of BOT Projects would be done separately.
(iv) All JV members or stakeholders with more than 26% Stake in the project shall be given the same rating as project rating.
(v) Individual rated projects shall be normalised to calculate the rating of contractors/concessionaire.
(vi) Rating exercise shall be done once in an year, in first iteration eligible projects upto 15th February to be taken up and preferably rate the
same by 31st March and thereafter for eligible projects upto 15th November and preferably rate the same by 31st December rate every year.
