Agartala: The Tripura High Court voided a transport department tender for smart cards. Judges ruled the process flawed and ordered the state government to pay legal costs. The court decision shuts down the current procurement plan entirely.
Legal challenges targeted the tender terms, claiming they unfairly restricted competition. Officials now face a mandatory restart of the bidding process if they want to move forward with the technology rollout. The state must cover the financial penalties imposed by the bench as a result of the failed tender.
