One of the pet projects of UT administrator VP Singh Badnore, the museum is to come up at the Government Press building in Sector 18.

As per the plan, it will have at least 50 vintage cars, besides heritage furniture and manholes on display.

“As per the terms and condition, the selected company will establish as well as run and maintain the museum. The third tender was floated with a rent of 4 lakh per month but no firm came forward,” said a UT official, adding that the matter was being examined further.
