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. At GNLU Station, a short 5.42 km spur line will connect to GIFT City across the Sabarmati River.

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.

    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”
