Expansion

Tenders for the construction were called by Public Works Department during August 2020 at a cost of ₹42.26 crore (US$5.1 million). The new building will be a 4-storey building with total floor space 113,000 sq ft (10,500 m) of which 62,000 sq ft (5,800 m) is office space. The civil work was started in December 2020 and is estimated to be completed in 18 months.
