MoRTH to frame IRC guidelines after adopting new-age machines for faster highway construction
NEW DELHI: After the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) decided to adopt Automated and Intelligent Machine-aided Construction (AIMC) for highway development to ensure timely project completion, it announced that Indian Roads Congress (IRC) guidelines will be prepared based on feedback from contractors and concessionaires. The ministry has already sanctioned atleast 16 projects, where innovative machines will be used. According to the officials, Cabinet approval is awaited for 10 projects envisaged for implementation of AIMC system. With a significant growth in the national highways network including a significant increase in Greenfield and Brownfield highways with high embankments requiring a significant amount of earthwork and proper compaction in the last one decade, it has been felt appropriate to induct AIMC in highway construction, said officials. The decision to formally adopt the system was taken after evaluation of efficacy in a pilot; Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway Project, where in GPS-aided Motor Grader, Intelligent Compactor and Stringless Paver were used. The ministry also took into consideration the feedback from stakeholders and international guidelines and specifications. The ministry has also sought feedback on adoption of AIMC to formulate IRC guidelines, added officials. Officials added that the ministry would facilitate the concessionaire or contractor with the required license for the radio frequency range from the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) for the use of machines. The list of projects, which are already sanctioned, includes Western Bypass Gwalior (29 kms), 6-lane Greenfield Ludhiana Bypass (25 kms), Deoghar Bypass (49 kms), Shillong-Silchar Corridor (167 kms), Vrindavan Bypass (15 kms) and Patna-Arrah-Sasaram (125 kms) in Bihar. The projects which have been submitted for the Cabinet approval are Satellite Township Ring Road of Bengaluru (STRR) Karnataka (144 kms), BadveI Nellore Corridor (108 kms) in Andhra Pradesh, 4-lane access controlled Sirhind-Sehna section of NH-205AG (107 kms) in Punjab, and Nashik-Ahmednagar- Solapur-Akkalkot segment of the Surat-Chennai Expressway (374 kms). The ministry, in December, sought feedback from roads construction agencies, public work departments in states and union territories and other stakeholders on the proposal for adoption of the construction facilitated by innovatory. The benefits of AIMC are expected high adherence to design specification, improved rideability, performance durability and longevity and reduced wastage as well. The technology-driven construction also increases productivity, helps in real-time documentation, brings better transparency and minimises human interventions.

Increased MSP for Kharif crops
NEW DELHI: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved a hike in the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for the 2025-26 Kharif season and extended the interest subvention scheme for farmers. It also approved two multi-tracking railway projects in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, as well as a four-lane highway project in Andhra Pradesh. The Cabinet approved a hike in paddy MSP by three percent or Rs 69 per quintal to Rs 2,369 for the 2025-26 Kharif season and up to nine percent rise in rates of pulses and oilseeds, according to Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The cost to the exchequer of the MSP decision is Rs 2,07,000 crore, and continuation of the subvention scheme will cost Rs 15,642 crore. The announcement comes amid the southwest monsoon reaching earlier than usual, giving a boost to the sowing of kharif crops, which contribute over 50 per cent of Indias total annual foodgrain production. Under the Modified Interest Subvention Scheme (MISS) for 2025-26, farmers will continue to receive short-term credit at an affordable rate through the Kisan Credit Card (KCC). The continuation of the scheme will cost exchequer Rs 15,640 crore, the Minister said. Under MISS, farmers get short-term loans of up to Rs 3 lakh through KCC at a subsidised interest rate of 7 percent, with 1.5 percent interest subvention provided to eligible lending institutions. Additionally, farmers who repay loans promptly are eligible for an incentive of up to 3 percent as the Prompt Repayment Incentive (PRI), effectively reducing their interest rate on KCC loans to 4 percent. However, for loans taken exclusively for animal husbandry or fisheries, the interest benefit is applicable up to Rs 2 lakh. No changes have been proposed to the structure or other components of the scheme, which covers over 7.75 crore KCC accounts in the country. On the infrastructure front, the government approved over Rs 7,000 crore for various projects, including a four-lane road project on the Badvel-Nellore National Highway in Andhra Pradesh, the four-laning of the 135-km Wardha-Ballarshah rail line in Maharashtra, and the 41-km Ratlam-Nagda line in Madhya Pradesh. The two railway multi-tracking projects, costing approximately Rs 3,399 crore, will add about 176 km to the existing Indian Railways network across four districts in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, he said. He stated that the rail projects will enhance line capacity, enabling faster and seamless movement of passengers and goods, and improve connectivity for approximately 784 villages with a combined population of nearly 19.74 lakh. The Badvel-Nellore project in Andhra Pradesh will cost Rs 3,653.10 crore for the construction of a 108.134-km 4-lane highway corridor under the Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer model. This corridor will connect important nodes on the Visakhapatnam-Chennai, Hyderabad-Bengaluru and Chennai-Bengaluru industrial corridors and provide strategic access to the Krishnapatnam Port, he said.
Andhra four-lane corridor receives cabinet approval
The 108.134 km, four-lane Badvel-Nellore Corridor on national highway (NH) 67 will be built on design-build-finance-operate-transfer (DBFOT) mode. It will provide connectivity to important nodes in the three industrial corridors of Andhra Pradesh-Kopparthy node on the Vishakhapatnam-Chennai Industrial Corridor, Orvakal node on Hyderabad-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor and Krishnapatnam node on Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor-and will have a positive impact on India's Logistics Performance Index, said a government statement.
