PRISM-SG, which stands for Portal for Rail-Road Inspection & Stages Management – Steel Girders, was launched to streamline and digitise infrastructure approval processes in India. It focuses on improving efficiency and transparency in the construction of Road Over Bridges by replacing manual systems with an integrated digital platform. The portal enables online submission, inspection scheduling, real-time monitoring, and complete audit trails. By connecting multiple stakeholders such as Indian Railways, contractors, and inspection agencies, it significantly reduces approval timelines from nearly a year to just a few months, thereby accelerating infrastructure development and improving coordination.
