5 Bidders for Delhi – Meerut RRTS’ Escalators & Elevators
In September-end, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) received a total of 8 bids from 5 firms for supplying and installing Escalators (Package 21) and Elevators (Package 22) at 22 stations of the under construction 82.15 km Delhi – Meerut RRTS Line.
These two tenders are among the last few major systems-related contracts that need to be tendered out for installation on this semi high-speed rail line where Bombardier trains (see design released last week) will run at a top speed of 160 kmph.
NCRTC had invited invited tenders (bids) for both packages in July 2020 funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). They estimate them to cost $23.73 million (approx. Rs. 174.23 crore) and $8.75 million (approx. Rs 64.15 crore), and expect the assigned contractors to finish work in 1550 days (3.35 years) from when the contract is awarded.

Thank you. Do you have signaling contract’s bidder names?
Submission date is coming up on the 8th. If they don’t move the date again, I should have a post with names that evening 🙂
Yes surely waiting to hear the names.
Is there any update on the underground section in Delhi for which a Chinese company was the lowest bidder?
Has the contract been awarded or has it been cancelled?
Still stuck in financial bid evaluation – hasn’t been awarded or cancelled.
Looks like this stretch is going to be the Aaray of Delhi Meerut RRTS.
Any updates regarding Telecom?
Telecom is included within the signaling tender. Bid submission date for that is coming on the 8th.
