The Bombay High Court has dismissed Larsen & Toubro's (L&T) plea challenging MMRDA’s ₹6,000 crore Thane-Bhayandar tunnel tender process, citing the project's significant public importance. The court directed that price bids for the elevated road tender be preserved in a sealed cover for a week after the contract award. The court noted L&T had failed to address key tender clauses.
