6,500 km road contract awarded by NHAI during FY2011-12
April 2012

In yet another instance of aggressive bidding for highway projects, developers offered premium to seven out of eight highway projects with a total length of 1,144 kms awarded by National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) during March-end.

Other successful bidders include Sadbhav, Unity Infra, Transtroy and IVRCL.
