Deal to fix LED bulbs scrapped as consortium misses target
The BBMP has terminated a major contract given to a consortium to replace 4.8 lakh sodium vapour lights with LED bulbs as it failed to meet targets.
The termination follows Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s diktat to the BBMP to not go ahead with the contract if the consortium does not complete the two-year-old project by December-end.
Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta issued the termination notice earlier this month withdrawing the letter of acceptance (LoA) issued to the consortium of three companies — Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Pvt Ltd, SMC Infrastructures, and Samudra Electronic Systems in February 2019.
