"RInfra consortium has submitted Performance Security Bank Guarantee (PS-BG) and Mobilisation Advance Bank Guarantee (MA-BG) to MSRDC for Versova-Bandra Sea Link Project (VBSL)," it said in a statement.

RInfra-Astaldi SpA (Italy) Consortium had signed an agreement with MSRDC on September 4, 2018, for construction of VBSL.

The consortium has submitted Rs 350 crore of PS-BG and Rs 385 crore of MA-BG to MSRDC, it said.

The consortium had bagged the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for the Rs 7,000 crore project on a competitive bid basis.

The other bidders in the fray were L&T-Samsung and Hyundai Development Company-ITD.

The tender was floated by MSRDC.

With a length of 17.17 km, VBSL is over three times the length of the existing Bandra-Worli Sea Link (5.6 km).
