In the first contract, Reliance Infrastructure has awarded IRDSA the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) of the 180km long Delhi-Agra National Highway. IRDSA will be responsible for complete toll plaza operations including cash management, traffic management, toll equipment, road safety, route operations, incident management and route patrolling.
