Mumbai: Leading infrastructure development firm Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) Monday said it had bagged a 4.15 billion water tunnel project here. HCC said the tunnel project from Maroshi to Ruparel College in Mumbai would replace the old upper Vaitarna and Vaitarna mains in the section. It would improve the water supply to Vakola, Mahim and Dadar in central Mumbai and Malabar Hills in up-market south Mumbai, the firm said. Once completed in 2010, the tunnel will supply 1,100 million litres of water daily. HCC said this was the second major order that it had got from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for water tunnel construction.
