The MMRDA is planning to extend the last date for submission of bids for its
101-storey 'Iconic Tower' project in Wadala, Mumbai.
As many as nine construction firms - both national and international - have
now requested extension citing economic slowdown. The tower project is estimated
to cost Rs 2,500 crore to be implemented on BOT basis.
Now, the final submission date is likely to be extended by a month. The
companies have sought extra time to work out JVs with their foreign
counterparts. Currently, the last date for bid submission is 31 July 2009.
The nine companies that have evinced interest in constructing the tower are:
Akruti City, Tata Realty Infrastructure, IL&FS Transportation Networks,
Indiabulls, Top Value Deal Developers, Shapoorji Pallonji Group, Reliance
Infrastructure, Larsen & Toubro and Gammon India.
Meanwhile, the MMRDA has also extended the last date of submission for bids
for designing and offering consultancy for the proposed tower. Around 23
companies have evinced interest in providing consultancy for the tower. The last
date of bid submission for consultants is now 7 August 2009.
