Diversified global conglomerate Punj Lloyd Group today said it has bagged a contract worth Rs 528 crore in Singapore to construct a new prison headquarter.
“Punj Lloyd Group today said it bagged Rs 528 crore worth project from the Singapore prison service to construct the new prison headquarters of the Changi prison complex,” the company said in a statement.
