 "The Chenani-Nasri tunnel in Jammu and Kashmir")
The National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIDCL), which has emerged as the biggest road construction player in the country with a portfolio of over Rs 90,000 crore, has now taken up at least seven specialised tunnel projects in Jammu and Kashmir.
These projects, costing over Rs 30,000 crore, were handed over to NHIDCL — a public sector company under the ministry of road transport and highways — by the prime minister’s office (PMO) in a recent review meeting. Two of the projects were earlier with the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), which failed to submit a detailed project report (DPR).
