According to a statement from the Delhi State Industrial Infrastructure Development Corp (DSIIDC) on Sunday, Delhi Industry Minister Haroon Yusuf, who recently visited the two areas, described the quality of work as world class.
Assigned on public-private partnership mode in 2011, renovation in Bawana has cost Rs 57 crore and Rs 130 crore in Narela. It included roads, parking space, drains, sewage, water lines and electrical work, along with horticulture work.
According to a DSIIDC official, the concessionaire will maintain services of the areas for another 13 years after construction.
