About the client in brief:

Tata Projects is one of the fastest-growing and most admired Engineering, Procurement & Construction companies with experience and expertise in executing large, complex industrial and urban infrastructure projects. Tata Projects Ltd won the bid to construct India’s new Parliament building in September 2020.

Client’s requirements:

  • Tata Projects approached the most reliable suppliers to mobilize machinery and other items required to start construction work. As a leading Bar Processing Machines supplier, Smit Corporation was chosen to supply the machines used for straightening scrap rebars and reusing it for the aforementioned project.

Challenges:

  • Uncertainty: The Central Vista Project had been challenged in the Supreme Court while Opposition had also raised questions. However, the government has justified its decision to build a new Parliament building by saying that current one was “showing signs of distress and over-use”. Supplying the construction equipments to our client therefore was uncertain until everything was finalized.
  • Deadline: The new Parliament building is expected to be completed by 2022, and the new session that year will be held in the new building to commemorate the 75th year of independence. Hence, the project has to be completed within a stipulated timeline. Accordingly Smit Corporation has to deliver required construction machines in desired quantity on time to support hassle- free construction work.
