The Cabinet has approved a revised agreement with Maga Engineering (Pvt.) Ltd. to complete the remaining construction work of the Sethsiripaya Phase III project, which was temporarily suspended after work began in 2021.
The project was launched by the Urban Development Authority (UDA) to meet the growing demand for office space among government and semi-government institutions. Its original estimated capital cost was Rs. 16.7 billion.
Construction began in 2021 and progressed up to the completion of three floors before being suspended due to economic instability, shortages of raw materials, import restrictions and rising construction costs.
The government has since identified the need to expedite the completion of the project to address the office space requirements of state institutions. Under the proposed financing arrangement, office space in the building is expected to be allocated to the Ministry of Energy, Inland Revenue Department, State Pharmaceuticals Corporation and the UDA, with the institutions contributing financially in proportion to the space allocated to them.
The project’s total estimated cost, including expenditure already incurred, the cost of the remaining work and applicable taxes and other expenses, has been revised to Rs. 38.48 billion.
Maga Engineering, the original contractor for the project, submitted a technical and financial proposal to complete the remaining work without altering the project’s original scope.
Following an evaluation by the relevant review committee, the contractor agreed to complete the remaining work for Rs. 22.76 billion, excluding the value of completed work, payments due, provisional sums, taxes and daywork costs.
The Cabinet approved a proposal submitted by the Minister of Transport, Highways and Urban Development to enter into a revised agreement with Maga Engineering for Rs. 25.58 billion, covering the value of completed work and payments due, while excluding provisional sums, taxes and daywork costs.

🚨 BREAKING: Another Iranian vessel, Bushehr, is near Sri Lanka's waters. Sri Lanka is already moving to help.
No hesitation. No politics. Just saving lives.
India still hasn't spoken about the first ship. Still silent. Still watching.
Sri Lanka is showing what sovereignty looks like. Action, not speeches.
The world is watching who moves and who freezes.
Esmail Qaani, commander of Iran’s Quds Force, has reportedly been detained by the IRGC — not for failure, but for surviving too many deadly attacks.
Qaani has escaped multiple assassination attempts that killed some of Iran’s most powerful leaders:
-The strike in Lebanon that killed Hassan Nasrallah.
-The operation that eliminated Ismail Haniyeh — with accusations that Qaani leaked intel enabling the attack.
-Deadly strikes during the 12-day war that decimated Iran’s senior military leadership.
-The explosion that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei — allegedly leaving just minutes before it hit.
Now, suspicion surrounds him. Hardliners allege Qaani may be a Mossad agent working for Israel. Nine lives… and still in hot water
