“New Parliament Building To Come Up Ahead Of November 2022 Deadline”,, Says Tata Projects
Tata Projects aims to complete India’s new Parliament building ahead of its scheduled completion in November 2022 despite challenges around the construction of this mega project.
Last year, Tata Projects won the contract to build the Parliament building as a part of the government’s Central Vista redevelopment plans, beating Larsen & Toubro with a bid of Rs 861.9 crore. As per the project schedule, it should be completed by November 2022.
“We feel blessed to have bagged the Parliament building project. It has a very tight time schedule, but we want to do it a little bit ahead of time. It is a fully integrated project, so we want to make sure that the best of the technologies are used to create the best experience in the building,” Mr Vinayak K Deshpande, Managing Director, Tata Projects.
The central vista in the capital is a hub of some of the most recognisable government buildings, including the Rashtrapati Bhavan and the Parliament House, which was designed by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker after the capital of the country was moved from Calcutta to Delhi in 1911. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government’s ambitious Rs 20,000 crore Central Vista Redevelopment project entails renovation and redevelopment of this area. The project received criticism from opposition parties and civil bodies and was even challenged in the apex court, which eventually cleared it.
