Contracts and awards
This page lists the actual construction contracts at Dholera: who won them, on what date, for how much money, and on what basis. Almost none of this has been reported anywhere, because the awards sit inside the development company's statutory annual report rather than in press releases. A signed contract with a named contractor and a rupee figure is the hardest evidence a construction project produces.
