The construction company claimed that it was chosen as the lowest bidder (L1) for the turnkey construction of the remaining portions of the Bahuti Canal project.

The project involves finishing the earthwork for the main canal system from RD 18 to 74 km as well as other ancillary tasks.

The Water Resources Department of the Government of Madhya Pradesh put the project out to competitive bidding. The project's estimated value is about Rs 3.92 billion. The project will last 36 months, with a 60-month MOM (Management, Operation, and Maintenance) period. "The Letter of Award is yet to be issued by Government of Madhya Pradesh - Water Resource Department," the company said.
