Delhi’s Central Vista redevelopment project needs transparency and accountability

The buildings of the redeveloped Central Vista were given life-span extensions, which increased from 150 years to 250 within the hour-long press conference by Puri. For this, they will need to work with a material other than concrete, which only has a longevity of approximately 70 years.

At the pre-bid meeting of September 12, of the nearly 17 firms that signed a petition to ask for an open competition, one firm did not want to add its name. That firm, HCP Design Planning and Management, has now won the bid for project consultancy to redevelop Parliament, the Central Secretariat and Central Vista.
