The company PST Engineering Construction (PSTEC), which came under criticism for poor quality of construction in the apartments it built for Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board in K.P. Park, Chennai, had recently bagged a contract from National Highways Authority of India as well, a statement by the Tamil Nadu government pointed out on Tuesday.
The statement was issued in response to the criticism over the State government awarding a contract for ₹82.87 crore to the company for developing infrastructure at the upcoming Fintech City in Nandambakkam.
It said the PSTEC was awarded work by various departments after the complaints regarding the construction in K.P. Park emerged in 2021. This included the ₹130.2-crore project awarded by the NHAI for six-laning a section of Thoothukudi Port Road in March this year.
