🚧The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways is set to notify a revamped Model Concession Agreement (MCA) for BOT (Toll) road projects, aimed at reducing traffic-related risks for private players.

📉 The new MCA will drop the controversial "competing roads" clause and introduce a buy-out mechanism based on traffic thresholds. If traffic dips below or rises above set levels, automatic extensions or revenue sharing will kick in.

🌿 Pre-construction hurdles—like land acquisition and forest clearances—are also being addressed upfront to de-risk construction and attract private investment.
