Maytas corruption scandal

The bidding process was completed by July 2008, the bid being awarded to a consortium led by Maytas Metro. Following the Satyam controversy in December 2008, Maytas failed to achieve financial closure for the project as per schedule in March 2009 and urged the government to extend the deadline by six months. In July 2009, the Andhra Pradesh Government canceled the contract to Maytas and called for fresh bids for the project.^[4]

Current status

In the July-2010 rebidding process, Larsen & Toubro (l&T) emerged as the lowest bidder for the Rs. 12,132-crore project. L&T came forward to take up the work for about Rs. 1,458 crore as viability gap funding as against the sanctioned Rs. 4,853 crore. The ground work on the project will start in January 2011 and the entire project is expected to be completed in five years.^[5] The chief of M/s. Delhi metro rail consultants for Hyderabad metro rail for project report has publicly disapproved the Hyderabad metro rail project.^[6]
