LUCKNOW: In a major boost to 594-km Ganga Expressway, six bidders, including two from abroad, have shown interest in the project. All six of them attended the pre-bid meeting on Saturday, UPEIDA CEO Awanish Awasthi told TOI.
“One bidder was South Korea and another from Malaysia, apart from four Indian firms. And the way they showed interest in promoting the project was very encouraging. It reflects the performance of the Yogi government and its positive image due to which foreign companies are ready to invest in infrastructure projects.
The meeting was also attended by the IIDC Alok Kumar.
The Yogi government has decided to develop the Ganga Expressway between Meerut and Prayagraj on the PPP model while most of the expressway including the Agra-Lucknow and Purvanchal are funded by the state government.
