MoRTH Introduces Performance Rating Framework for National Highways
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) announced a new framework to assess and rate national highway corridors based on three categories: highway efficiency, safety, and user experience. Separate criteria will apply to access-controlled expressways and normal highways. Factors include congestion, accident rates, amenities, and user feedback. The ratings aim to identify deficiencies and prioritize improvements across all executing agencies under MoRTH.
