The cash-strapped Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) continues to be in doldrums. Despite the infrastructure body inviting tenders in September 2014 to appoint a consultant to suggest initiatives that could help the body generate revenue, it seems no consultant is interested in assisting the MSRDC. The tenders for the appointment of a consultant for ‘Designing and planning of business enhancement initiatives and supporting their implementation’ has not received a good response. This has prompted the MSRDC to extend the dates for downloading and submitting the tender forms.

A MSRDC official told sunday mid-day on condition of anonymity, “The response from the bidders hasn’t been satisfactory. So we have decided to extend the tender download period up to 3 pm on January 24, 2015.” The last date of submission has been rescheduled to January 31. The original date for the tender download and submission was in  December, 2014.
