Wah Padeco wah…! Mauj kardi..!
Engineers India – RODIC Consultants – STUP Consultants – LEA Associates South Asia JV
why did they disqualified ??
I think they dont have railway experience that’s why disqualified
Yeah
It may be one reason
Not sure. Operators never quite reveal what went wrong.
Ohh
Most awaited contract in last 3 months 🙂
I Think Nippon Koei should get this job.
But they have less technical score. The consortium of TCE has the advantage
Nippon koei will get the contract, hands down. They’re from the host nation and supplier Nations want their companies to get the contract. Also Nippon koei did a fantastic job in Qatar and Taiwan.
Nippon Koei won this project.
