The company told Bursa Malaysia Bhd that it had received a letter of intent (LOI) from the corporation for the construction and completion of the Civic Centre at the intersection of Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg and Minto Road in New Delhi, opposite the Delhi Stock Exchange.
IJM said the works order will be issued after the submission of a performance guarantee amounting to 5 per cent of the contract sum within 15 days of the LOI.

isnt that quite modest for the times. i guess it was ok when it was conceptualised in the 80s but delhi has a chance to have an iconic skyscraper in the heart of the city, maybe they could have made a 40 storey building at leastThe Civic Centre, with a total built-up area of 116,000 sq m, will comprise a three-level basement car park, four six-storey building blocks and a 28-storey tower block.
