NMRC Cancels Noida Metro Extension’s Civil Tender

Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) today canceled the tender process for the construction of a 9.605 km extension of Noida Metro’s Aqua Line from Noida Sector-51 to Greater Noida Sector-2 due to “administrative reasons”.

NMRC had invited tenders for this civil package in May with an estimate of Rs. 430.69 crore, and received bids from 3 firms on July 15 – NCC Ltd., Sam India Builtwell Pvt. Ltd., and an unknown non-construction firm called Shrisay Infotech which is suspected to either have bid for the wrong tender or placed a bid on behalf of a small-time contractor.

NMRC’s MD Ritu Maheshwari earlier this week revealed to TOI that they will “float the tender again as only two respondents surfaced“.

This civil package is a part of a 14.95 km further extension of the 29.7 km Line-1 from Sector 51 to Knowledge Park V which was approved for construction by Uttar Pradesh government’s cabinet on December 3, 2019.

It will consist of 5 elevated stations at Noida Sector 122, Noida Sector 123, Greater Noida Sector 4, Ecotech 12 (Tech Zone) and Greater Noida Sector 2.

    Looks like the bidding amount was much more than their estimate.

      Haryana government makes random “approval” announcements from time to time, as you’re probably aware. They made one earlier this week. I’ll believe it when I see a tender notice 🙂
