AMC to provide car worth ₹18 lakh to railway employees

The Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) will provide an Innova worth ₹18 lakhs for inspection duties, as the railway does not have a vehicle.

In Ahmedabad’s new western zone, the work of laying a short main line with a diameter of 1800 mm through the microtunnelling method, from Khyati Circle to Bopal-Ambli Cross Road, along with the work of box-pushing for the Shilaj Railway Line Crossing, will be carried out. 

The pushing of the main railway line will be done by the railway authorities. Since the railway does not have a vehicle for this task, AMC will purchase a Toyota Innova worth ₹18.85 lakhs.

As per the proposal presented before the Standing Committee for approval, an Innova Crysta GX 8-STR, diesel model, worth ₹18.85 lakhs according to the quotation from Kirloskar Motor Pvt Ltd will be purchased and provided to the Railway Authority for daily inspection of the work.

Notably, earlier approval for the Innova purchase was given by AMC resolution dated September 25, 2024, in which no specific mention was made in the proposal presented to the Standing Committee for approval
