The Chief Technical Examination report, which will be shared with the CBI, had alleged that the PWD of higher rates, poor quality control and substandard material worth `1,315.66 crore in the PWD projects of the Commonwealth Games. According to the report, there are deficiencies in 26 works worth `3,316.58 crore which were carried out by the Central and Delhi governments’ civic and construction agencies. The report points out to irregularities in works costing `364.11 crores carried out by the MCD, three valuing `221.22 crores by NDMC and two each worth `379.93 crores and `105.80 crores respectively by CPWD and ITDC.
