Samruddhi Mahamarg Project: Names of 13 Contractors Declared.

The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation has recently made some important announcements in relation to the Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg Project that is set to revolutionize development in the near future, not just in Maharashtra, but hopefully in the entire nation. The names of 13 qualified contractors have been declared for the actual project work and along with it, more than 80% of the land required for the scheme has been purchased in order to expedite the process. This article provides information about the 13 contractors as declared under the scheme…

The process of appointing contractors for the Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg Project has recently been completed. Out of the 17 shortlisted tenders, a list of 13 qualified contractors with the least bids (L1) has been declared by MSRDC.

Now detailed discussions will be held with these contractors regarding the nature of the proposed work and the expected expenditure to be incurred. Subsequently, MSRDC will issue work orders to the concerned contractors. The work pertaining to 13 out of the 16 divisions in the Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg Project will be carried out through these 13 enlisted contractors. The MSRDC plans to divide the work in the remaining 3 divisions in a similar transparent manner in the near future. Following is a list of these 13 contractors’ names and the divisions to be distributed to them for construction:

• Division 1: Nagpur : Medha Engineering
• Division 2: Wardha: Afcons
• Division 3: Amravati: NCC
• Division 4: Washim (East): PNC Infratech
• Division 5: Washim (West): Sadbhav Engineering
• Division 6: Buldhana (East): APCO
• Division 7: Buldhana (West): Reliance Infrastructure
• Division 8: Jalna: MonteCarlo
• Division 9: Aurangabad (East): Megha Engineering
• Division 10: Aurangabad (West): L&T
• Division 11: Ahmednagar: Gayatri Projects
• Division 12: Nashik (East): Dilip Buildcon
• Division 13: Nashik (West): BSCPL

On one hand, the process of distributing the work to contractors is rapidly progressing and on the other hand the purchase of land by mutual consent through the direct purchase scheme is in full swing. Collectively, more than 80% of the privately-owned and government-owned land has been acquired, thanks to the positive response by the concerned farmers and landowners.

The purchase of land and distribution of actual work are considered the main and crucial steps in any such new project. These steps have recently been completed under the Samruddhi project and here’s hoping that the actual work starts soon as well.
