🏗️ BETTER PERFORMANCE BRINGS LOWER DEPOSITS FOR HIGHWAY BUILDERS
Quality construction can bring financial advantages to highway contractors.
According to The Economic Times, the revised national highway Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) framework links performance security deposits to contractor ratings:
✅ Above 80% rating — 3% performance security
✅ 70%–80% rating — 4% performance security
✅ Below 70% rating — 5% performance security
Replacing the earlier uniform 5% requirement, this structure can help higher-rated contractors retain more funds for project ex*****on while encouraging consistent construction quality.
For the construction industry, it reinforces the importance of quality control, disciplined site ex*****on and reliable project delivery.
At C-Tech Engineering & Construction Pvt. Ltd., Vellore, we recognise that careful planning, engineering precision and coordinated teamwork are essential to building dependable infrastructure.
Build with precision. Deliver with accountability.
