All construction work for the Ram temple in Ayodhya will finish by April 30, said Nripendra Mishra, chairman of the Ram Temple Construction Committee, on January 31, 2026. The total cost of the project is about ₹1,900 crore. Mishra told reporters after a two-day meeting that Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and Tata Consultancy, both major contractors at the site, will leave the temple complex by April 30 after construction ends. "L&T and Tata Consultancy have offered a three-year warranty for all the work carried out by them. For maintenance and upkeep, a small team from both organisations will remain deployed inside the temple complex," Mishra said. He added that all paperwork and payment procedures will also be completed by April 30. After this date, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust will take over all agreements with L&T, Tata Consultancy, and the State Construction Corporation. According to Mishra, of the ₹1,900 crore total cost, about ₹1,600 crore including GST has already been paid. The meeting evaluated construction progress, final timelines, and the handover of responsibilities, officials confirmed.
