Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure has approved procurement of three Trailer Suction Hopper Dredgers (TSHDs) of 5000 cubic meter hopper capacity by Dredging Corporation of India (DCIL) from IHC Dredgers BV, The Netherlands.
The proposed procurement will sustain the existing total capacity of the company as the same would replace some of the existing old dredgers which are more than 30 years old and also augment the available capacity to meet the increased dredging requirements.
The total indicative cost for the project is Rs1570.21 crore.
The delivery schedule is 29 months and 35 months ex-yard for the first and second dredger respectively and 41 months ex-yard for the third dredger. |
