Ram temple construction expected to be completed by April 30; Total estimated cost ₹1,900 crore

Ram temple construction committee chairman Nripendra Mishra on Saturday said all construction work related to the Ram temple in Ayodhya is expected to be completed by April 30, with the total cost of the project being around ₹1,900 crore.

Addressing reporters after the conclusion of the two-day meeting of the Ram Mandir construction committee here, Mishra said Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and Tata Consultancy, which are executing important works at the site, will move out of the temple complex by April 30 after the construction is completed.

Mishra further informed that instructions have been issued to complete all the paperwork and bill payment processes by the same date.

“L&T and Tata Consultancy have offered a three-year warranty for all the work done by them. For maintenance and upkeep, a small team from both the organizations will be deployed inside the temple complex,” he said.

He said that after April 30, all the agreements with L&T, Tata Consultancy and State Construction Corporation will be taken over by Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.

Providing details of the expenditure, Mishra said the total expenditure on the Ram Temple project is estimated to be around ₹1,900 crore, of which around ₹1,600 crore, including GST, has already been paid.

Officials said the meeting reviewed the progress of construction and related works and discussed the final timelines for completion and transfer of responsibilities.
