Indore Zoo Aquarium Project Faces Bidding Challenges
The Indore Municipal Corporation wants to build a big, fancy fish aquarium at the city zoo.
They have tried three times to find a company to build it, but no one has agreed yet.
The project costs ₹40 crore and will have tunnels where you can see fish underwater.
The city hopes this aquarium will attract tourists and teach people about fish.
They are going to talk to builders this week to see if they can get someone to do the job.
Indore Municipal Corporation has floated tenders three times for a ₹40 crore aquarium project at the city zoo.
No agency has come forward to undertake the project despite initial interest from some.
The aquarium will feature underwater tunnel sections and house various freshwater and marine fish species.
A meeting with contractors and specialized aquarium agencies is planned to understand the hurdles and encourage participation.
The project aims to become a major tourist attraction and educational center for aquatic biodiversity in Indore.
