Anil edges out Mukesh

Construction of the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, a 21-km-long inshore bridge spanning Sewree on Mumbai Island and Nhava, the second longest bridge on the earth, will commence in December next and completed in five years from then.

Bid submitted by the Anil Ambani-led consortium of Reliance Energy and Hyundai of Korea won the contract for the prestigious project, defeating the consortium of IL&FS, SKIL Infrastructure and John Laing Construction led by his brother, Mukesh Ambani.
The bids were opened on Wednesday. The project worth Rs.6,000 crore is on a BOT (build, operate and transfer) basis. The Anil Ambani consortium bagged it for they had said they would collect the toll charges from user-vehicles for nine years and 11 months while his brother’s bid had quoted toll charges for 75 years.
