The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) on May 30 told Supreme Court that it has decided to scrap the tender in which it had disqualified Larsen & Toubro (L&T).
Supreme Court was hearing the plea filed by L&T in which it had accused MMRDA of certain irregularities in the tender process for the construction of the Rs 6,000-crore Thane-Ghodbunder to Bhayandar tunnel and elevated road projects.
L&T had sought stay on financial bids opening for the project.
The construction giant, in its pleas, stated it was not intimated about the outcome of the technical bid process for the Rs 6,000 crore project, which includes a 9.8-km elevated road over Vasai Creek, touted as the second longest in the country after Mumbai's Atal Setu.
L&T submitted its technical and financial bids on December 30, 2024. The technical bids were opened on January 1, 2025, but the company claimed it received no communication thereafter.
It said the MMRDA's non-communication violated the principles of fairness and transparency in the tendering process.
