GAIL India has moved the Supreme
Court against the decision of PNGRB to allow the Gujarat State Petronet
(GSPL) led consortium to bid for Rs 5,000 crore
Mallavaram-Bhopal-Bhilwara-Vijaipur gas pipeline project. GSPL led
consortium has emerged as the lowest bidder for the project, ousting
GAIL India.
The state-run gas utility has alleged that PNGRB accepted the technical bids of the consortium despite the bid not being in conformity with the tender conditions. The company argued that the board could not revise the tender, after bids were submitted by the aspirants, under the guise of introducing post-bid clarifications.
"The tender floated was a zero deviation tender and no condition in variance of the terms of the tender could be added any by any bidders. Therefore, the tribunal erred in upholding the decision of the board of accepting the technical bid of the consortium despite material deviation from tender terms," said GAIL in its petition.
