State / Union Territory (UT) - wise details  of  major  deficiencies  of  NH  stretches  observed  since  2014 along with status of its rectification  works and action taken against contractors, concessionaires, consultants etc. are placed at Annexure-I. Actions against defaulting agencies have been taken up as per the provisions of the Contract/ Concession agreement in cases of deficiencies/  damages,  such  as  termination  of  contract  agreement, levying  of  penalties/  liquidated  damages,  debarment/  blacklisting, declaring as non-performers etc.

Out  of  total 16,542  black  spots  identified  on  NHs  in  the  country,  short-term rectification has been completed on 14,138 black spots and long-term rectification has been completed on 6,649 black spots.
