Ashoka Buildcon Suspended From NHAI Bids After Girder Fall

01 Dec 2025 CW Team

Construction engineering firm Ashoka Buildcon Ltd has been temporarily suspended from participating in ongoing and future National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) bids for one month, or until an Expert Committee completes its investigation. The action follows the fall of two precast PSC girders on the six-lane elevated corridor between Aroor and Thuravoor Thekku on NH-66.

One girder collapsed onto a commercial vehicle, resulting in the death of the driver. The company received a show-cause notice from NHAI on 26 November 2025 at 7.14 pm regarding the incident. Ashoka Buildcon has denied allegations that its actions endangered public safety.

In its stock exchange filing, the company stated that the incident arose from sudden and unforeseeable circumstances, specifically the abrupt failure of a hydraulic jack caused by internal seal damage. It added that the girder fell on a goods vehicle that had entered a prohibited construction zone.

Ashoka Buildcon emphasised that it consistently implements all required safety protocols in accordance with good industrial practices, contractual obligations, and relevant safety codes.

The company is assessing the financial impact of the event and will update the exchanges once complete. All other operations remain unaffected.

Shares of Ashoka Buildcon closed at Rs 184.10, up Rs 5.55 or three point one one per cent on the BSE on 27 November.
