💨 Abstract

A Rs 1600 crore tender has been issued for the civil construction of LIGO-India, a gravitational-wave observatory, in Aundha, Maharashtra. The project, expected to be completed by 2030, will consist of administrative buildings, vacuum tubes, end stations, and computer hosting facilities. The site was chosen for its low seismic noise and minimal rain and wind.
