Over the past week, Afcons Infrastructure Ltd submitted three bids for state railway and road-building projects in the euro area’s newest member, worth 1.1 billion euros ($1.3 billion) in total. Another Indian company, a conglomerate led by Ashoka Buildcon Ltd, is also vying for the same railway reconstruction contract as Afcons.
