The PRISM-SG (Portal for Rail-Road Inspection & Stages Management – Steel Girders) portal is a significant step toward digitizing infrastructure project management in India, particularly in the construction of Railway Over Bridges (ROBs). Developed by the Digital India Corporation in collaboration with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, NHAI, and Indian Railways, the portal aims to streamline the complex processes involved in steel girder design, fabrication, inspection, and approval.
Historically, infrastructure projects in India—especially those involving multiple agencies like railways and highways—have suffered from delays due to fragmented coordination, manual documentation, and procedural bottlenecks. Approval processes for ROBs often took up to 12 months. The PRISM-SG portal addresses these issues by providing an end-to-end digital workflow, enabling online submission, real-time tracking, digital inspections, and transparent audit trails. This reduces approval timelines to 3–4 months, ensuring efficiency and accountability.
