      Abstract: 
      
Technical due diligence for national highways involves a thorough assessment of the current infrastructure to ensure its reliability, safety, and compliance with legal standards. This comprehensive evaluation process encompasses the analysis of the highway's structural integrity, surface condition, drainage systems, and traffic management. Conducting technical due diligence for highway projects is crucial for ensuring the viability, safety, and sustainability of infrastructure development. This thesis examines the comprehensive evaluation techniques used in assessing national highway projects, focusing on key aspects such as structural integrity, environmental impact, and regulatory compliance. 
The study adopts an approach that integrates civil engineering principles to provide a detailed understanding of the due diligence process. Through case studies and empirical data, the research identifies common issues and best practices in the technical assessment of highway projects. 
Specifically, this dissertation includes a case study of the Gwalior-Jhansi Section of NH-44, featuring an assessment of the existing pavement and assets based on data collected using a Network Survey Vehicle (NSV). The findings aim to assist highway engineers and designers in identifying shortcomings in road safety and proposing effective solutions to enhance the safety of road users
