Although the company has delivered machinery to the site for the construction of the much talked about Bijli Mahadev ropeway, but before starting the construction work, the company will have to deposit Rs 6 crore in the account of the Central Government. Only after this amount is deposited, the company be able to start the construction work of the rope way. Therefore, the company has not deposited this amount yet. It is worth noting that before starting any project work, the value of the land, trees and other assets falling under the scope of that project has to be deposited with the government.
In lieu of the land, trees, and other assets used for the Bijli Mahadev project, the company will have to deposit Rs 6 crore to the government, which includes CA, NPB and the price of trees. Therefore, the ropeway construction company National Highway Logistics Management Limited will have to deposit this amount in the account of the Government of India before starting the ropeway construction work; only after that will the Ministry of Environment and Pollution give final approval to start the project work.
7 hectares of forest land are coming under the scope of construction of Bijli Mahadev Project, due to which the company will have to deposit Rs 35 lakh with the government in lieu of this land. Apart from this, Rs 42 lakh in the form of NPB, 80 trees, including 10 pine and 70 deodar plants, are worth more than Rs 5 crore. In such a situation, the company will have to deposit this money in the account of the Central Government before starting the construction work.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has performed Bhoomi Pujan for the construction of ropeway. After the Bhoomi Pujan on March 5, 2024, the company has not yet been able to complete these formalities. In such a situation, the cost of project construction may increase. Although at present the cost of ropeway construction is around Rs 283 crore, if the company remains entangled in formalities like this, then the cost of construction may increase, which can be harmful for the company.
