Maharashtra government’s Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure (CCI), in its recent meeting, has granted the state-run Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) a go-ahead to undertake seven new big ticket infrastructure projects worth Rs 1.86 lakh crore.
With this, MSRDC, which not so long ago was saddled with a debt of Rs 6,500 crore, has scripted a turnaround, and now has government projects worth Rs 2.62 lakh crore in all.
While the agency specialises in trunk infrastructure projects, it has also secured rights for a couple of building construction projects, including Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s flagship temple conservation project and a documentation project for archiving the Covid-19 pandemic.
