Ceigall India Ltd. on Tuesday emerged as the lowest bidder to construct and operate the 22.85 km Jalbehra – Shahbad extension (NH 152G) of the 227 km Trans Haryana Expressway (NH 152D).

This small 4 lane northern extension by National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will effectively connect the 313 km Ambala – Kotputli Economic Corridor with NH-44 (old NH-1) highway to increase its utility.

NHAI invited tenders for its development on the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) in December 2021 with a 730 day (2 year) deadline and Rs. 557.20 crore estimate. Technical bids were opened on April 13 to reveal 3 bidders.
