The New Indian Express reported on 10 October 2026 that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has mandated an approximately 15–20-minute documentary for every highway development project costing more than Rs 500 crore. Under the reported requirement, the contractor or concessionaire would engage a professional video production agency, with monthly footage assembled into a continuous record of the project from its start through completion and commissioning. The underlying official note was not available for independent review, so implementation details remain unconfirmed.

It also does not set out a submission procedure, approval standards, handover requirements, or consequences for non-compliance. Those details should not be assumed from the reported duration and cost threshold alone. The complete directive or an NHAI confirmation would be needed to verify the precise contractual and operational requirements.
