Delhi Govt. Seeks Approval for Barapullah Phase-3 Overruns
Imagine a road project in Delhi that's taking longer and costing more than planned.
The government needs to get special permission to spend more money because the project has gone over budget.
The company building the road won a dispute, which is costing extra money.
The government also has to figure out if they should appeal this decision or not.
The project is almost done, but can't be completed because they are waiting on permission to cut down trees.
They have already spent most of the money they were initially given, and now need to be approved for the extra funds to finish.
Delhi government directs PWD to seek Cabinet approval for cost overruns on the Barapullah Phase-3 project.
The project, initially estimated at Rs 1,260.63 crore, has already used Rs 1,238.68 crore.
A fresh proposal will be prepared to accommodate pending liabilities, including arbitration awards.
The arbitration ruling favored the contractor, leading to an award of Rs 175 crore.
The project is approximately 87% complete but is stalled due to pending tree-felling permission.
