Sam India Wins Delhi – Meerut RRTS Line’s Package 9A
Sam India Builtwell Pvt. Ltd. on Friday emerged as the lowest bidder for the 82.15 km Delhi – Meerut RRTS Line‘s Package 9A involving the construction of multi-storied staff quarters and connectivity from Mathura Road to Jangpura Stabling Yard complex within Delhi, after officials from the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) opened financial bids submitted by different infrastructure firms.
While this clearly isn’t the most exciting package of the project, it is significant for the development of Delhi’s new semi high-speed Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) which after the completion of its roughly 349 km Phase 1 network will employ at least 4000 employees throughout the region with an operations control centre (OCC) at Jangpura to monitor all subsystems and train operations on the network’s three lines.
NCRTC invited tenders for this staff quarters package in April 2020 and opened technical bids on July 9 to reveal 7 bidders. NCRTC’s estimate was USD $39.81 million (Rs. 293.14 crore).
Financial Bid Values:
| Firm | Bid |
| Sam (India) Builtwell Pvt. Ltd. | Rs. 270.68 crore |
| NCC Ltd. | Rs. 283.14 crore |
| JMC Projects India Ltd. | Rs. 287.79 crore |
| YFC Projects Private Ltd. | Rs. 297.79 crore |
| Ahluwalia Contract (India) Ltd. | Rs. 300.86 crore |
| Capacite Infraprojects Ltd. | Rs. 316.57 crore |
| Shapoorji Pallonji and Co Pvt Ltd. | Rs. 342.37 crore |
Like the rolling stock (awarded to Bombardier) and signalling (bidding underway) contracts, this package is not financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), but instead by the Delhi government and New Development Bank (NDB) through a USD $500 million loan.
Tender No: DM/CN/COR-OF/111
Brief Scope: Package 9A- Construction of Multistoried Staff Quarters and connectivity from Mathura Road to Jangpura Stabling Yard Complex for Delhi – Ghaziabad – Meerut RRTS Corridor.
The construction of a viaduct (shown in orange above) from the main-line to the Jangpura Stabling Yard is part of Package 6 for which Afcons Infrastructure emerged as the lowest bidder earlier this month.
If no issues arise during financial evaluation, then Sam India will go on to be awarded with Package 9A’s contract with a completion period of 910 days (2.5 years). Back in late-August they were also the lowest bidder for Package 12A which involves designing, supplying and erecting pre-engineered steel roof structures at Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar and Duhai stations.

Still in the proposal stage. DIAL hasn’t revealed any specifics on its construction timeline or next steps. With COVID-19 leading to a reduction in air traffic, I’m presuming it’ll be on-hold for quite some time.

Hello TMRG !!
Why Silver line is shown as (Aerocity – Tughlakabad) while in DMRC influence zone it has been shown or proposed as Domestic airport – tughlakabad instead of aerocity ?
Hi, the line has been approved only until the Aerocity. See the ‘Phase IV Approved Corridors’ PDF linked here: http://delhimetrorail.com/Outline_Construction.aspx
DMRC launched the influence zone page in 2016, modified it along the way as plans changed, but hasn’t updated it to reflect this.
Will aerocity station also approved for delhi.alwar rrts
Approval is pending from Delhi Govt for their portion of the Delhi – Alwar line
