The company said it has completed 70 per cent of its project, the Delhi—Meerut expressway, in 11 months since appointment last November.
The National Highways Authority of India has fixed a construction period of 30 months for the project completion and an early completion would entitle the company to a bonus from the authority, it indicated in its statement.
