Mumbai: BMC Awards Trench Refilling Contracts for ₹257 Crore
The Mumbai government is hiring companies to fill in holes in the city's roads that were created by utility companies like water and electricity.
They've assigned the work to seven different areas and will pay ₹257 crore in total.
This new plan is happening because the money for a previous similar project ran out.
The companies are filling trenches made by various utility services.
The new contracts will cover the next two years.
Contractors had proposed an additional ₹573 crore, but instead, new bids were invited, and the cost was reduced.
BMC appointed seven contractors for trench refilling in Mumbai.
The total project cost is ₹257 crore.
The contracts are for a period of two years.
Fresh tenders were invited to manage costs.
