Within nine months of inviting proposals for building the much-delayed Sewri-Nhava Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), the city’s development authority has hiked the project cost by Rs 830 crore to Rs 9,630 crore.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) invited requests for qualification for the project in November last year and had pegged the cost at Rs 8,800 crore. It is now in the process of inviting final technical and financial bids from the shortlisted consortia to implement the project on a public private partnership model.
