J Kumar Infraprojects Limited (JKIL) has emerged as Lowest (L1) bidder for a six-lane elevated road construction project, connecting Anand Nagar to Saket through Thane, Maharashtra. The company had submitted a bid of Rs. 1,854 crore for this project which is higher than Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority’s (MMRDA) estimate of Rs. 1,688.19 crore.
