MINISTER OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE ( SHRI S. JAIPAL REDDY )
(a)&(b): The number of projects assigned to CPWD by various
Government Ministries/Departments and non-government clients
runs into thousands. Projection for the time that is likely to
be taken for completion is, at best, a tentative estimate of the
time required. Completion of projects beyond the time estimated
happen due to various factors including intervention of courts,
adverse law and order situations, lack of adequate coordination
among different agencies etc.
c): CPWD has not compiled the cost escalation due to time over
run. However, as per current policy, no escalation or
additional money is paid to the contractors by the CPWD if the
completion exceeds the time period agreed to.
