WOW AGAIN GIVING CONTRACTS TO CHINESE COMPANIES
Hi
Yes very true.. where is MAKE IN INDIA in this tender. We are encouraging them, as out of four there are three Chinese.
Indian firms add 40% extra top-up on the bid value because from designer to contractor to EPC everyone wants to make money in government projects… which Chinese firms don’t do.. their bid prices are low.
In past Indian firms used to outsource these contracts to Chinese firms thus they now govt is directly awarding contract to them.

Good to hear that full height PSD will be installed in underground stations.
