12 Bidders for Ahmedabad Metro Phase 2’s Construction
Earlier today, Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) opened technical bids from construction companies to reveal that twelve firms had submitted 17 tenders (bids) to build the first two civil contracts of the 28.254 km Ahmedabad Metro Phase 2 project.
Phase 2 involves the construction of two elevated corridors, as an extension of the Phase 1’s 18.522 km Line-2 (Red Line), northwards from Motera Cricket Stadium towards GNLU and onward to Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar.

The bids have now been sent for technical evaluation which can take a couple months to complete. When that is done, the financial bids of the technically qualified bidders will be opened to reveal who’s the lowest bidder for each package and most likely contractors.
The line’s alignment hasn’t been revealed by GMRC, but will likely look like this – also mapped out here in detail with station names.
Package 1 includes the elevated section from Motera to GNLU (8.124 km) and GNLU to GIFT City (5.420 km) with a total of 10 stations at Koteshwar Road, Vishwakarma College, Tapovan Circle, Narmada Canal, Koba Circle, Juna Koba, Koba Gam, Gujarat National Law University (GNLU), Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU) and GIFT City. Although not called out in the notice, the scope likely includes the construction of the Sabarmati River bridge.
Package 2 includes the elevated section from GNLU to Gandhinagar Sector-1 (6.478 km) with 5 stations at Raysan, Randesan, Dholakuva Circle, Infocity, Sector-1.
A tender notice inviting bids is still pending for the last 8.2 km section of the line, all within Gandhinagar, to connect Sector-10A, Sachivalaya, Akshardham, Juna Sachivalaya, Sector-16, Sector-24 and Mahatma Mandir.

Gayatri management must be sweating now haha
Motera Stadium to Mahatma Mandir can’t be 6.4 KMs.
And definitely not expected at 470 Crores.
Some correction needed.
You’re right – it’s not, but that’s not what the description says. 6.478km Package 2 runs just between “Chainage. 25467.443m to 31945.443m”. Both packages are being built “in connection to Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project Phase – II from Motera Stadium to Mahatma Mandir”
