(MEIL) has been barred from participating in future National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) tenders for one year due to a significant slope protection failure on the Chengala-Neeleshwaram section of National Highway 66 (NH-66) in Kerala. The incident, which occurred on June 16, 2025, at Cherkkala in Kasaragod district, was attributed to improper design, inadequate slope protection measures, and a deficient drainage system, according to an official NHAI statement.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newindian.in\/top-bjp-donor-megha-engineering-debarred-after-nh-66-slope-collapse-in-kerala\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/economy\/infrastructure\/nhai-debars-megha-engineering-for-kerala-nh-66-lapse\/articleshow\/121912455.cms?from=mdr\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/nhaiE28099s-promise7373419820451559474.jpg?resize=300%2C207&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/nhaiE28099s-promise7373419820451559474.jpg?resize=300%2C207&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/nhaiE28099s-promise7373419820451559474.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The collapse of the slope protection works, triggered by heavy rainfall, exposed critical engineering lapses in the construction of the 77-kilometer stretch from Chengala to Neeleshwaram, part of a larger NH-66 widening project under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM). Under this model, MEIL is responsible for both constructing and maintaining the highway for 15 years. The failure prompted swift action from NHAI, including a show-cause notice to MEIL proposing a one-year debarment and a monetary penalty of up to \u20b99 crore. Additionally, the company has been mandated to reconstruct the collapsed slope at its own expense.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehansindia.com\/news\/national\/highway-slope-collapse-on-nh-66-in-kerala-what-happened-and-whats-next-980849\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/infra.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/roads-highways\/nhai-debars-megha-engineering-for-a-year-over-nh-66-slope-collapse\/121920931\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preliminary investigations revealed that MEIL\u2019s approach to slope stabilization was inadequate, with residents reporting that the company merely sprayed a thin layer of cement to stabilize a steep laterite hill cut for the highway widening, instead of implementing robust retaining walls and proper drainage systems. The absence of effective hydrological management exacerbated the collapse during heavy monsoon rains, raising concerns about the company\u2019s adherence to geotechnical standards.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.onmanorama.com\/news\/kerala\/2025\/06\/17\/nhai-debars-meil-kasaragod-highway-collapse.html\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_20250622_2012427840651084538434407.jpg?resize=640%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_20250622_2012427840651084538434407.jpg?resize=1024%2C853&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_20250622_2012427840651084538434407.jpg?resize=300%2C250&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_20250622_2012427840651084538434407.jpg?resize=768%2C640&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_20250622_2012427840651084538434407.jpg?w=1076&amp;ssl=1 1076w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, NHAI has constituted an expert committee comprising a senior scientist from the Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), a retired professor from IIT-Palakkad, and representatives from the Geological Survey of India (GSI) to investigate the incident and recommend corrective measures. The committee will assess the design and construction practices to prevent future failures, particularly in Kerala\u2019s monsoon-prone terrain.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.devdiscourse.com\/article\/law-order\/3460983-nh-66-slope-collapse-in-kerala-spurs-action-megha-infra-debarred-probe-ordered\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionworld.in\/transport-infrastructure\/highways-and-roads-infrastructure\/nhai-debars-contractor-after-slope-collapse-on-nh-66\/75145\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The debarment marks a significant setback for MEIL, a major player in India\u2019s infrastructure sector and the second-largest buyer of electoral bonds, having donated \u20b9966 crore to political parties, including \u20b9585 crore to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), \u20b9195 crore to the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), and \u20b985 crore to the DMK. The incident has also drawn public and political scrutiny, with Kasaragod MP Raj Mohan Unnithan criticizing the company\u2019s construction practices and calling NHAI\u2019s action a \u201cwelcome decision.\u201d He had previously raised concerns about flaws in NH-66 widening works across Kerala.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.onmanorama.com\/news\/kerala\/2025\/06\/17\/nhai-debars-meil-kasaragod-highway-collapse.html\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news9live.com\/state\/kerala\/following-shoddy-nh-work-in-kasaragod-nhai-disqualify-megha-infrastructure-limited-from-further-bids-2869361\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"458\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/screenshot_2025_0622_2014141927998988141153410.jpg?resize=640%2C458&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/screenshot_2025_0622_2014141927998988141153410.jpg?w=668&amp;ssl=1 668w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vglobenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/screenshot_2025_0622_2014141927998988141153410.jpg?resize=300%2C215&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the second such incident on NH-66 in Kerala within a month. On May 22, 2025, NHAI debarred KNR Constructions Ltd. following a road collapse at Kooriyad in Malappuram district, citing similar lapses in soil assessment and construction quality. The recurring issues have sparked broader concerns about infrastructure safety and the need for stricter oversight and climate-adaptive engineering practices in Kerala\u2019s challenging terrain.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.onmanorama.com\/news\/kerala\/2025\/06\/17\/nhai-debars-meil-kasaragod-highway-collapse.html\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/news\/national\/kerala\/nh-66-collapse-in-kerala-centre-debars-construction-and-consultancy-firms-involved\/article69605631.ece\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local protests followed the Cherkkala collapse, with residents highlighting repeated cracks, cave-ins, and flooding along the Chengala-Neeleshwaram corridor. The district collector inspected the site, and traffic was temporarily halted to ensure safety. The incident underscores the critical need for robust geotechnical planning and third-party audits for high-risk infrastructure projects, particularly in monsoon-affected regions.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.etvbharat.com\/en\/%21bharat\/nhai-fines-and-bans-megha-engineering-and-infrastructure-limited-for-one-year-enn25061803290\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NHAI has reaffirmed its commitment to quality and safety, stating that such failures will not be tolerated.
