PNC Infratech has signed two NHAI concession agreements worth Rs 3,483 crore for four-lane NH-927 projects in Uttar Pradesh, India Today reports. The Barabanki-Mustafabad and Mustafabad-Biswan stretches are due for completion within 24 months and operation for 15 years. The company is under scrutiny after the Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway, opened on 13 July at a reported Rs 4,200 crore, developed sinking and surface slippage within weeks. NHAI has suspended toll collection, begun penalty and possible debarment proceedings, and issued show-cause notices. India Today also reports CBI scrutiny in a 2024 Rs 10 lakh bribery case. The blacklisting process allows the company to respond before a final decision.
