Big news from the infrastructure sector! Ashoka Buildcon Limited (ASHOKA) has announced a significant milestone for one of its key projects: achieving financial closure for a major National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) road development.
The company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ashoka Bowaichandi Guskara Road Private Limited, has successfully submitted all necessary financing documents to NHAI. This crucial step means the project now has the funding secured to move forward, a green light for construction to begin! π¦
The project in question is the ‘Development of a 4-lane Economic Corridor from Bowaichandi to Guskara-Katwa Road Section (Km 89.814 to Km 133.000) of NH 116A (Package-3)’ in the state of West Bengal. This is a Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM) project, a popular model where the government and the developer share the financial risk.
With a substantial bid project cost of Rs. 1,391 Crore (excluding GST), this is a significant undertaking. The construction phase is set for 910 days from the appointed date, followed by an operation period of 15 years from the Commercial Operation Date (COD).
