Delhi PWD Tightens Tender Rules to Improve Project Quality
The Delhi government is changing how it picks companies to build things.
If a company bids too low, they'll have to provide extra money to show they can do the job well.
This should stop companies from promising too much and then failing.
It's to make sure projects are finished on time and are good quality.
Delhi PWD implements new tender rules for better project execution.
The rules aim to prevent low-bidding and ensure quality.
Additional Performance Guarantee will be required for abnormally low bids.
The goal is to ensure contractor accountability and efficient public works.
Training sessions for PWD engineers are planned.
