National Highways and Industrial Development Corporation (NHIDCL) opened the bids and Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd. (MEIL) comes as the first with the lowest bid.
Zojila tunnel is strategically very important tunnel in in Jammu Kashmir-Ladakh in Himalayan region. There has been problems in the past with the contractor for the project.
This is the news (I think it is actually press release of MEIL).

This is good news. This is the third time the Zojila Tunnel contract is awarded. I hope this contractor will stick to their word and finish this important infrastructure.
MEIL is INR 80cr higher than NHIDCL's budget - I expect serious negotiations before coming to an award, if this will be the case.
