In a recent update, Ashoka Buildcon Limited announced the cancellation of its bid for NHAI Project 1. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) canceled the bid for administrative reasons, stating that Ashoka Buildcon was the only bidder for the project. Despite this setback, the company remains eligible to participate in the newly issued re-bid notice, maintaining its position as a key contender in the infrastructure space.

Details of the Project and Cancellation

Project 1 involved the development of a 4-lane economic corridor from Kharagpur to Chandrakona-Ghatal Road in West Bengal under the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM). While Ashoka Buildcon emerged as the lowest bidder, the lack of competition led to the project’s cancellation. NHAI has since issued a fresh re-bid notice, inviting multiple participants to ensure competitive bidding.

Project 2 Progress and Letter of Award

While the bid for Project 1 faced cancellation, Ashoka Buildcon achieved a milestone with Project 2. This project focuses on the development of the corridor from Bowaichandi to Guskara-Katwa Road. The company received the Letter of Award (LoA) on November 25, 2024, underscoring its capabilities in executing large-scale projects.

Implications for Ashoka Buildcon

The cancellation of Project 1 and the fresh re-bid present both a challenge and an opportunity for Ashoka Buildcon. The company’s extensive experience in handling Hybrid Annuity Mode projects positions it as a strong contender in the re-bidding process. Securing these projects is vital for expanding its portfolio and contributing to India’s growing infrastructure needs.
