ITD Wins Kolkata Metro Line-6’s Pending Station Work
Earlier this week, ITD Cementation India Ltd. emerged as the lowest bidder for completing pending (balance) work at 7 stations between Titumir and Sub CBD-1 stations on Kolkata Metro’s Line-6 which’ll connect Kavi Subhash New Garia to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport.
The contract for these 7 stations (Package ANS3) valued at roughly Rs. 300 crore was originally awarded to IL&FS Engineering in March 2014 with a 3 year deadline.

In 2019, RVNL invited bids for completing pending works with an unconfirmed estimate of Rs. 239.32 crore.
