The Oreva Group, which has recently made the headlines for being the firm responsible for the repair and maintenance of the now collapsed Morbi bridge, was reportedly involved with the bridge since 2008.
According to a report by the Indian Express, the Oreva Group had a contract for managing the bridge between 2008 and 2018. However, it did not apply for renewal over reported differences with the municipality over ticket prices. Despite that, municipality officials claimed that Oreva continued to manage the bridge after 2018.
The publication also reported that after an intervention by the state government on ticket pricing, Oreva approached the municipality for a fresh MoU on June 3, 2020, which was approved months later on August 27 of the same year.
