    The ADB has reviewed NEA's request for a third extension of time for a contract to design, supply, and install 132kV GIS substations in Kathmandu Valley. Due to delays in site handovers and COVID-19 disruptions, the contractor requested an extension until March 2023. While the contractor's performance has been poor, ADB will allow a conditional 120-day extension until March 2022 based on the consultant's recommendation. ADB requests NEA closely monitor progress and implement effective contract management to avoid future post facto extensions.
