Further, a Twitter user wrote on the platform, “New Parliament House. Two new records. It was built in merely 17 months. TATA built it and only 1 rupee as a cost to the govt. This is TATA‘s gift to nation.”
Apart from the Rs 1 claim on Twitter, Facebook users also claimed that the Parliament building was built by the Tata Group in a record-breaking 17 months. However, it was later debunked that these claims were not true, and the Tata Group made a hefty bid to land the contract.
Fact Check: Did Tata Group build Parliament building in Rs 1?
According to The Economic Times, the Tata Group won the contract for the construction of the new Parliament building for the Central Vista project by outbidding the company Larson and Toubro. The bid for the Parliament building by Tata was over Rs 861 crore.
This means that the claim of the building being built for Rs 1 is false. Further, a press release by the Press Information Bureau (PIB) revealed that the construction work has crossed the 17-month mark, meaning that the claim of construction being complete in just 17 month is also false.
