As part of the amended contract, Fajarbaru said the duration of the planning phase of the project has been extended to Sept 9, 2024, from April 30, 2024, initially.
“The minor works contract (international) is now expected to be completed on March 28, 2025. Previously, the contract was scheduled to be completed on Nov 21, 2024,” it said in a statement.
