More local content agreed for India-funded East Bank to East Coast road

The construction of the India-funded Eccles to Ogle road is one step closer as four firms have been short-listed to bid and the development comes even as this country made inroads in negotiating for increased local content participation.

Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill yesterday told Stabroek News that the pre-qualified companies are Ascons Infrastructure Limited, JMC Projects (India Limited), Ashoka Buildcon Limited and Dineshchandra R. Agrawal Infracon Pvt. Limited.
