NBCC has floated tender for appointment of contractors and agencies for about 8 Amrapali projects, said Anoop Kumar Mittal, chairman and managing director of NBCC, adding that the company was waiting for Supreme Court's directions.

The Supreme Court (SC) had directed NBCC to complete the stalled Amrapali projects.

“Since there was vacation for courts in the month of December, this week or next week court will hear this matter and it will decide how to proceed in this. Once the directions will come from the court, immediately we will star the work,” he said.

“As far as Jaypee is concerned, Jaypee Infratech Ltd (JIL) is in national company law tribunal (NCLT) and interim resolution professional (IRP) has floated the tender for total company Jaypee Infra and NBCC is one of the five bidders who have submitted their expression of interest (EoI). On January 27, the financial bid will to be submitted and the committee of creditors (CoC) will decide the fate of this company and we are very keen to take that company mainly because there are again 25,000-30,000 buyers who have not got the houses. We feel that we are in a better position to compete not only those houses but to develop the 2,000-3,000 acre land and other properties of JIL,” he added.
