AMC announced the EPC plan on 26 December 2025 at an estimated Rs 250 crore. A Rs 232.80 crore tender issued on 3 January 2026 drew a single bid (reported as from 'DR Agarwal') and was to be re-invited; the standing committee approved the project at about Rs 240 crore on 5 March 2026; the 2026-27 draft budget set aside Rs 272 crore; ANI in July 2026 cited Rs 236 crore. Demolition of the old spans began on 1 July 2026. On 25 August 2026 Gujarat Samachar reported that opposition Congress councillors alleged the contract, which they said would reach nearly Rs 300 crore, was given under a single-tender process to Dineshchandra R. Agarwal Infracon, a firm they said had been debarred for 20 years in 1997; the municipal commissioner replied that the debarment, imposed by GWSSB, had ended in 2017. The Rs 300 crore figure is the opposition's projection, not an approved amount. Defect liability is 10 years per the January 2026 tender.
