KNR Constructions: Madras HC directs appeal on TANSHA project bid rejection
The Madras High Court has directed M/s Dilip Buildcon Limited to first approach the Appellate Authority regarding the rejection of their technical bid for a TANSHA project, in which KNR Constructions is also a party. The Appellate Authority has 15 days to decide.
The court's decision to refer the matter to the statutory appellate authority is a procedural step and does not immediately alter the status of KNR Constructions' awarded contract.
The court directed the matter to the appellate authority, which is a procedural step and does not immediately impact KNR Constructions' awarded project positively or negatively.
KNR Constructions Limited has provided an update regarding a letter of award for the construction of a Four Lane Elevated Corridor along East Coast Road (ECR) in Tamil Nadu, awarded by Tamil Nadu State Highways Authority (TANSHA).
The company refers to a previous intimation dated 17th February 2026, and now informs about an order passed by the Hon’ble High Court of Madras in W.A. No 284 of 2026.
This case was initiated by M/s Dilip Buildcon Limited, who had approached the Hon’ble High Court of Madras challenging the rejection of their technical bid for the aforementioned project. KNR Constructions Limited was made a respondent in this appeal, along with TANSHA and other authorities.
The Hon’ble High Court of Madras heard the case on 16th February 2026 and uploaded its judgment on 18th February 2026. The court opined that the correctness and validity of the reasons for bid rejection should first be examined by the Appellate Authority under Section 11 of the Tamil Nadu Transparency in Tenders Act, 1998, before being brought before the Writ Court.
Consequently, the appeal was disposed of by the Hon’ble High Court of Madras, granting the Appellant liberty to file an appeal before the competent statutory authority within five days from 16th February 2026. The Appellate Authority is mandated to make a decision within 15 days from the date of submission of the appeal. The interim application in this matter has been closed.
