With a view to keep the procedure transparent, the final value of the spare parts offset will be calculated just two hours before the opening of the tenders for auctioning. “The committee has set the target to decide the offset value by September 30,” he said.The buses were owned by ousted city bus operator Vansh Nimay Infraprojects and it had procured buses in 2007-09 for about Rs28 crore. Due to poor maintenance, the buses started developing problems and within a couple of years were left defunct.Before auctioning these buses, the NMC will seek no-objection certificates from VNIL..
