Meanwhile,
the cost of the project has also gone up from the earlier estimated Rs.958 crore
to Rs.1,197 crore following a change in project scope, resulting from
suggestions received during the pre-bid meeting. MbPT is planning to have two
approach roads for entry and exit, besides having more back-up area and
equipment for the container terminal.
It
might be recalled that bids were invited in November 2004 and the last date for
submission was extended twice, finally up to 11 March 2005.
