evidence: A social media post which claims that the TATA group, as a gift to the nation, is constructing the New Parliament building at a cost of only 1 rupee, is being widely shared. Through this article, let’s fact-check the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: Tata Projects Limited secured the contract to construct the new Parliament building for Rs. 861.9 crores. However, in January 2022, CPWD estimated an increase in the cost of construction by 29% to a little over 1200 crore rupees. Hence, the cost of construction is borne by the government, i.e. tax payers money. Further, the building, for which foundation stone was laid in December 2020, is yet to be completed. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE. [...] In September 2020 Tata Projects Limited secured the contract to construct the new Parliament building for Rs. 861.9 crores. Tata secured the project quoting lower than L&T’s bid of 865 crore rupees. Several news agencies reported the news back then, these reports can be viewed here & here.
