Chinese consortium earlier denied clearance

The list of bidders includes Larsen & Toubro, Ircon International, Tata Projects, Reliance Infrastructure, IL&FS Transportation, Navayuga Engineering, Gammon Engineers and Contractors, China Harbour Engineering Company, Todini Construzioni Generali, Cengiz Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret, and Guangdong Guanyue Highway & Bridge Company among others.
