'Govt saved 12% on costs in Dwarka Expressway project'

The Union government saved about 12% in the construction cost of the country's first eight-lane, four-level Dwarka Expressway project from the initial estimates, and the findings of the official auditor CAG that the project cost was exorbitant and much higher than established cost structure is misplaced, an official in the ministry of road transport and highways said on Wednesday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that all four packages of Dwarka Expressway were put for tender at an average civil cost of ₹206.39 crore per km but the contracts were finally awarded at a lower rate of ₹181.94 crore per km, thereby making a saving from the initial estimates.
