The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) seems to have learnt a lesson from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) mistake. After FIRs were registered against contractors in the road scam, (unlike BMC that did so), the MMRDA has decided not to allot tenders to companies that have been blacklisted by the government and semi-government agencies.

Still, in the past MMRDA had to face criticism for awarding a contract of one of the construction packages of the Dahisar-Andheri east metro, to a contractor against whom an FIR was registered in connection with the road scam.
