A joint venture of Mumbai-based Unity Infraprojects and Ahmedabad-based Backbone Enterprises Ltd has won a Rs 240-crore order from Haryana State Roads and Bridges Development Corporation. The order relates to improvement of the Murthai Sonepat-Sampla-Jhajjar-Dadri Road and the Gurgaon-Farrukhnagar-Jhajjar Road. It entails strengthening of roads, providing drains and culverts, and widening of bridges.
Speaking to Projectmonitor, Kishor Viramgama, Chairman & Managing Director, Backbone Enterprises, said that execution would start soon with the work order already received. The order is scheduled for completion within 18 months. "Backbone will have a 40 per cent share in the contract," he added.
