NHAI has been winning arbitration after arbitration on the strength of its own record. The answer is not a better lawyer later. It is a better register now, with every hindrance, letter, and countersignature linked from the first week.
A 2024 Committee on Estimates review named land acquisition and environmental clearance as the two largest identified causes of delay across the NHAI portfolio. Both are Authority-side hindrances. Both are only worth anything to a contractor if they were logged, notified, and countersigned at the time.
| Project | Contractor claim | Award |
|---|---|---|
| Bareilly–Sitapur BOT, Uttar Pradesh | Rs 3,177 Cr across 30 claims | Rs 46 Cr plus interest |
| Kamrej–Chalthan, NH-48, Gujarat | Rs 174.49 Cr | Rs 54 lakh |
| Panipat–Jalandhar Highway | Rs 8,375 Cr | Rs 819.96 Cr, net of NHAI's own counterclaim |
| Tumkur–Chitradurga, Karnataka | Not reported | Rs 1,202 Cr awarded to NHAI |

DraftMyEOT is not a law firm and never claims to be. Every output is a draft, built to be reviewed and signed by your contracts lead or consultant.
No dates, events, or clause numbers appear that you did not supply. Every paragraph shows the evidence reference it was built from.
Each company's workspace is isolated, documents sit in private storage, and consultants see only the project they were invited to.
Send a contract, your delay events, and whatever records exist, tidy or not. A structured draft comes back in 48 hours. Not useful? Keep it, owe nothing.
