Last Date Extended For Alewadi Port Privatisation Bid

The submission date has been revised as the bidders failed to gather bore hole data on time, says a Sicom official, which is the nodal agency for implementing port policy in Maharashtra.

The delay is due to the choppy seas prevailing at Alewadi due to the extended monsoon, he added. The bore hole data gives information regarding the composition of the seabed. This information forms a vital input in port construction. Besides, it gives an idea about the extent of dredging required.
