Chaitanya Projects Consultancy Limited (CPCL), a leading infrastructure and engineering consultancy firm, has secured the top rank in the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI)’s first-ever provisional DPR consultants rating with an outstanding score of 80.75/100. Outpacing 55 peers, CPCL leads ahead of Pentacle Consultants (78), L&T Infrastructure Engineering (76), MSV International Technology (74), and Transys Consulting (72).
NHAI released the rankings in the 4th week of January 2026, marking the first transparent evaluation to enhance DPR quality for national highway projects under Bharatmala and other programs.

This step aligns with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari’s push for accountability in infrastructure consultancy.
