Maharashtra contractors demand payment relief
The Maharashtra State Contractors' Association has issued an ultimatum to the state government, demanding clearance of over ₹96,000 crore in pending bills by April 7. Failure to meet this deadline will trigger a statewide shutdown of construction and development projects. The contractors argue that delayed payments have created severe financial hardship, forcing many businesses to shut down operations and lay off workers. The BJP-led Mahayuti government faces mounting pressure to address the crisis before the deadline expires. This situation threatens to disrupt major infrastructure projects across the state and could impact economic growth if the dispute remains unresolved.
