Rs 181cr STP project cancelled in Ahmedabad's Sarkhej, re-tendering ordered
In a committee meeting held on Monday, the officials decided to cancel the proposal to construct a sewage pumping station and sewage treatment plant (STP) on 40,000 sq m of land in the Fatehwadi area of Sarkhej ward. The committee has now directed that fresh tenders be issued for the project.
The contractor was previously given a work order to construct the Jaspur water treatment plant, but it delayed the work by a year.
Moreover, there were quality issues, prompting a vigilance inquiry. So, it was decided to cancel the existing proposal.
Water and sewerage committee chairman Dilip Bagaria said, "We are constructing a new water treatment facility alongside the Rs 100-crore Jaspur water treatment plant, work on which has been delayed by a year. Initially, we considered giving the contract for the Rs 181 crore STP project to the same company that is working on the Jaspur facility."

"However, the assessment report that we received in June revealed unsatisfactory performance. So, we decided to cancel the proposal to award the STP plant project to the same company. We have ordered a fresh tendering process," he added. The cancelled project was intended to address sewage treatment needs in Sarkhej area.
