The CPWD invited bids from construction businesses to participate in the tendering process as part of the larger Central Vista redevelopment plan. The CPWD predicted the project (building and maintenance for five years) would cost Rs 3.6 billion and take 21 months to complete, according to the pre-qualification paperwork.
