NCC Limited and Subsidiary Debarred by NHAI for 2 Years
NCC Limited and its step-down subsidiary OBIL have been debarred by NHAI from participating in tenders for two years, effective February 17, 2026. The company is reviewing the order and plans to challenge it. No impact on existing projects is anticipated.
While the company states no impact on existing projects, a two-year debarment from NHAI tenders will likely affect future business opportunities and revenue streams from this major authority.
The company and its subsidiary have received an order of debarment from NHAI, which restricts their participation in future bids for two years.
NCC Limited has announced that its step-down subsidiary, M/s O B Infrastructure Limited (OBIL), along with NCC Limited itself, has received an Order of Debarment from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
The debarment, effective from February 17, 2026, prohibits the entities from participating in any tender or bid issued by NHAI for a period of two years. The order stems from disputes related to the "Design, Engineering, Construction, Development, Finance, Operation and Maintenance of Km 220.000 to Km 255.000 of Orai–Bhognipur Section on NH-25 and Km 421.200 to Km 449.000 of Bhognipur–Barah Section on NH-2 (New NH-27) in the State of Uttar Pradesh on BOT (Annuity) Basis" project executed by OBIL.
OBIL has initiated arbitration proceedings against NHAI, seeking a favorable award after delays in land handover and other breaches by NHAI. While NHAI has challenged an earlier arbitration award, OBIL contends that the debarment order was issued without due process and plans to challenge it. NCC Limited is reviewing the order and will take appropriate legal steps. The company has stated that there is no impact on its existing order book or ongoing projects, and the quantifiable financial impact on future tenders cannot be ascertained at present.
