The Indian government has decided to extend the defect liability period under EPC contracts to 10 years to improve road conditions. Minister Nitin Gadkari announced the decision, noting that roads built under EPC mode often have quality issues within 3 years. By holding contractors accountable for maintenance for a longer period, the government aims to ensure better road quality. This change applies to projects where the government provides funding, while private partners offer construction assistance. The move is part of efforts to enhance road infrastructure and promote self-reliance by reducing imports and increasing exports.
