The National Automotive Testing R&D Infrastructure Project (NATRiP) envisaged setting up of world-class automotive testing and homologation facilities in India with a total investment of Rs 2,288.06 crore by 31st Dec 2014. However due to various reasons, the project came to a standstill resulting time and cost overruns, court cases on contractual issues and other critical issues.
With efforts of the Department and NATRiP, during the last 2 years most of the critical issues have been resolved, and contracts worth Rs740 crore awarded. The NATRiP project was brought on track and Union Cabinet approved the extension of NATRiP Project from 1st January 2015 to December 2017 with a revised cost estimate of Rs 3,700 crore.
