RLDA re-floats Ahmedabad Station redevelopment

The new tender allows joint ventures as against the single company in the earlier one. There was a requirement to submit proof of three major works by the bidder for participation. Now two companies in a joint venture can submit three major works together, to be eligible for participation. Changes are also being carried out in the alignment of elevated road and in the civil engineering works in the new tender for Ahmedabad to attract more players.
Construction giant, Afcons Infrastructure Limited, was the lowest bidder for Ahmedabad station redevelopment project earlier as the company had quoted Rs 5,355 crore, as against the Indian Railways' estimated cost of Rs 3,000 crore.
