The deliberations explored enhancing contract structuring, risk allocation, procurement reforms, dispute avoidance, and performance monitoring. The aim is to minimise project delays, control cost overruns, and accelerate execution by leveraging digital oversight and strong governance mechanisms. Dr. Mukherjee noted that embedding global standards throughout the project lifecycle would increase transparency, competitiveness, fiscal discipline, and ensure timely delivery of transformative regional initiatives.
