# Maharashtra to rate contractors for quality, deadline compliance 2026-08-13T03:34:53+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Maharashtra government will introduce a rating system for contractors bidding on infrastructure projects worth ₹500 crore or more, based on quality, deadlines, safety, and compliance. Performance certificates valid for 12 months will be mandatory, and contractors will be graded green (above 80 marks), yellow (60, 80), or red (below 60). Red-listed contractors will be barred from future tenders. Public Works Minister Shivendrasinh Bhosale announced a Government Resolution on Wednesday. The system applies to the PWD, MSRDC, MMRDA, Maha-Metro, and other state bodies. Quality of work gets the highest weightage, 60 out of 100 marks, including compliance with specifications and test results. Yellow-category contractors must pay 1.1 times the performance security. The move aims to ensure high-quality, timely completion of major state projects. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: contractors, infrastructure, Maharashtra, performance rating, project deadlines, PWD Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/maharashtra-to-rate-contractors-for-quality-deadline-compliance/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
