NHAI debars Megha Engineering for Kerala NH-66 lapse

The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has debarred Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) for one year due to inadequate slope protection and drainage on Kerala's NH-66 Chengala-Neeleshwaram section. Following a slope collapse in June 2025, MEIL faces a potential penalty of Rs 9 crore and must reconstruct the works at their own cost under the Hybrid Annuity Model.
