Revanth Reddy’s ₹600 crore tender gap awaits the paperwork
A technical disqualification and allegations from RVM have put Radial Road-2 under scrutiny. The government has offered procedure; the public still needs the bid sheets.
The procedure has been offered; the bid sheets have not.
The Congress government in Telangana has a simple answer to the Radial Road-2 dispute: the tender authorities decided. That is not quite the same as showing the public how they decided.
Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited’s project is an 81.15-km road from Kothwalguda/Budwel on the Outer Ring Road to NH-167N near Nacharam, divided into three packages. Sushee Infra and Mining was disqualified at the technical-bid stage over an experience certificate that the government said lacked the required countersignature from a superintending engineer. Sushee disputes that decision and has challenged it in the Telangana High Court.
Sushee’s counsel told the court that its bids were about ₹600 crore lower in total than those of the L-1 bidders. RVM Constructions, in a letter to the Builders Association of India, made the same broad claim and alleged that the process was influenced by political considerations. The letter also alleged a 15% commission demand for awarding projects and claimed nearly ₹20,000 crore in certified contractor bills was pending. Those allegations are not established findings: the reviewed material contains no audit, charge sheet, payment trail or official investigation confirming them.
The High Court has not ruled that Sushee was wrongly disqualified, nor has it finally invalidated the tender. On 13 October 2026, it directed Sushee to implead the successful L-1 bidder and said interim relief could be reconsidered after the respondents filed their counters. An earlier order said any tender finalisation would remain subject to further court orders.
That leaves the Congress government with a choice it should not need a court order to understand: publish the bidder-wise quotes, technical evaluation sheets and award records. Instead, the public gets procedure wrapped around an unanswered ₹600 crore question. This is not proof of corruption; it is proof that a government handling a major public contract has failed to make transparency look like anything more than a slogan.
