Technocrats Pvt. Ltd. (ICT)
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION UNIT
BAREILLY
Project: 4 laning and widening of NH-24 Bareilly-Sitapur
REASONS FOR DELAY OF PROJECT NH 24
1.
Forest Clearances :- The proposal was submitted to DFO on 03Aug 2009.Final
sanctions obtained:(a) District Shahjhanpur was received on 14-12-2011 .
(b) District Sitapur 14 Jun 2012.
(c) District Bareilly, Khiri and Hardoi on 13 Aug 2012.
2. Processing for Tree felling permissions commenced thereafter.
3. Rate of cutting of trees is slow. Concessionaire was exploited by Ban Nigam to assist in
tree felling to achieve pace in cutting of trees .Orders to fell tree were received in Jun
and Aug 12.Approximate 1400 trees yet to be felled.
4. Financial Closure Agreement was signed on 22Jun10,however it was complete in May
11 much beyond permissible six months (Clause 24.1.1.)
5. Appointed date Appointed date fixed by authority as 01 Mar 11 on basis of first MPR
received from Concessionaire. However the same has been contested and denied till
date by Concessionaire.
6. Land Acquisition Dates for 3A Notification for 425 hects (Additional required for four
lanes) was 16 -11-09. Similarly the dates for 3D Notification were14-5-10, 18-5-10 , ,255-10, 08-10-10,12-10-10,01-09-11,25-11-11. However till date the 3G awards of 15 hect
still pending. Possession for 175hects is pending and mutation for 365 hects is pending.
7. ROB
there are four ROBs, however construction work yet to commence. Minimum
two years are required.
8. Royalty For earth District administration has been slow and randomly issued
clearances. This kept machinery idle at times.
9. Utilty Shifting
UPPCL took time to submit estimates and in according permission
for supervision charges.
10. Encroachments
Civil administration avoids direct involvement in encroachment
removal until compelled by courts or higher authorities.
11. Financial Mismanagement This has been one of the major cause, where issues
related to over payment of advances, unclear equity by concessionaire and non
involvement of Authority by the bankers and Lender Engineer resulted in improper
utilsation of loan disbursed by the bankers. This led to abandoning of entire project site
,closure of four camps,general strike by the employees, complete stoppage of work for
six months and stoppage of further release of loan installments by the bankers. As well
as it led to non maintenance of equity debt ratio.
12. Inflation and Economic Slow Down Over the last three years or so ,there has been
steep hike in prices of petroleum products, banning of mining by various Supreme Court
Rulings, slow clearances related to tree felling, rise in prices of construction materials
etc. The compounding effect of all this led to making ongoing projects economically less
viable.
13. State Support Agreement
As per Clause 47.3 of CA . UP State Govt was to provide
state support Agreement for providing support and services. However the same has not
been done till date.
14. Org Set Up and Unprofessional subcontractors of Concessionaire Concessionaire
has been employing subcontractors without intimating Authority who are petty and
lack skilled manpower for maintaining quality and safety norms. Similarly there have
been major changes in staff of concessionaire after strike, this has also caused delay for
lack of continuity.

Note:- Utility Shifting Revised Estimates Revised Estimates for left over Electric Items
were reworked out at PIU in consultation with IE and Concessionaire rep for four
Districts namely Bareilly, Hardoi, Khirie and Shahjhanpur. These were submitted to RO
for his Approval. Revised Approval received on 31 Mar 14 . Revised Estimates for
Sitapur District can only be submitted on assistance from Concessionaire. The delay on
account of non shifting of Utility is squarely of Concessionaire.

MAIN COMMENTS OF CONCURRENT AUDITOR AND INTERNAL AUDIT
Concurrent Auditor report from Apr 13 to Nov 13 as well as Internal Audit carried out in
Dec 13 at PIU Bareilly has adversely commented upon both on Physical progress &Financial
progress achieved by the Concessionaire . Major amount of Rs 206,33,17,314/ which is
almost equivalent to Capital contribution of promoter has been passed on to EPC and still
standing intact. Contrary to same Concessionaire has brought project to stand still for want
of finances. This is a significant mismatch. Also, there is variation in Physical progress reported
by IE ie 26.17% Vs 31.03% adjusted in accounts of Concessionaire. The same is serious breach
of Agreement.
9.
ROBs
Test pile drawing of 318 / Structural drawing of 289 submitted to NR,
Railways in July2013. Revised Estimates for three ROBs for approval of supervision
charges by Railway Authorities submitted to Rly Auth Moradabad by Concessionaire
through PIU letter 12051/7/2013/PIU Bareilly /2904 dt 07 Dec 13. Actual Construction of
ROBs would require minimum 2 to 3 yrs. Concessionaire has shown some interest and
has liaised with railway authority at Moradabad. Approximately 13 Lakhs supervision
charges being deposite by him.
