In a statement, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) said, "The GNIDA wanted to build the three foot-over bridges on the basis of BOT (Built Operate Transfer) policy. Requests for proposals were also issued for this, but companies did not show interest to make FOBs on the basis of BOT. After this the authority decided to make these three FOBs by itself.

"Tenders for the project have been floated. Applications can be made for the tender of FOB from March 16 to March 29. The pre-qualification bids will be opened on March 31. It is estimated that about Rs 4.70 crore will be spent to build these three FOBs," it said.
