4 rounds of bids in 5 years: Why a 35-km stretch continues to hold up Delhi-Mumbai Expressway
The 35.4 km stretch of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Gujarat is delayed due to contractor issues, with only 36.23% physical progress reported. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has issued a second tender after the lowest bidder, Bansal Construction Works, declined the project. This setback is expected to further delay the ₹1-lakh crore project.
