Dilip Buildcon Casts Indore Metro’s 1st Pile Cap at MR10 Flyover
Workers from Dilip Buildcon on Friday finally began pouring concrete to cast the first pile cap for Indore Metro’s 33.53 km Line-3 – a ring line which will connect Palasia – Railway Station – Rajwara- Airport – Bhawarsala via 30 stations.
Dilip Buidcon was awarded Indore Metro’s first civil contract, for the 5.29 km Package-02A/01, back in October 2018 with a value of Rs. 228.96 crore and 27 month deadline. Their scope of work includes constructing just the viaduct between ISBT/MR10 Flyover and Mumtaj Bag Colony excluding the stations en route.
Since awarding that contract, Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MPMRCL) has not published any new tender notice which indicates there’s either an abject lack of interest by the state government or there’s something terribly wrong with the new organization’s finances or competence which is being guided by a General Consultant team comprising of DB Engineering, Geodata Engineering and Louis Berger.
The stations within this section will be built as part of a separate package at ISBT / MR 10 Flyover, Chandragupta Square, Hira Nagar, Bapat Square, Meghdoot Garden, Vijay Nagar Square, Radisson Square, Mumtaj Bag Colony.
MPMRCL’s Bhopal Metro project is little ahead in construction with its 1st segment getting launched in September, but that is also terribly running behind schedule and I just don’t see any sense of urgency or effort being put into either project.
As I mentioned above – MPMRCL’s tender page lies bare and barring one geotechnical investigation work-related tender in January, no significant tender notice has been published in the entire year.
The New Development Bank (NDB) bank in December 2019 approved a USD 225 million (approx. 1657.43 crore) loan for Indore Metro, so I’m really not sure what the hold up is. At its current pace, it’s easily going to join Navi Mumbai and Kolkata’s projects to become yet another decade-long project.

If pile cap casting is happening now then pier will happen in December 2021. Then pier cap in December 2022. Then segment in…you get my drift 🤪

And please vent your anger at govt and metro company officials, not here.
There are only a few pillars capping that has started but no progress either as per the commitment to raise 80 pillar’s in a month (as i read this on the news paper).
Very slow progress if we compare to Bhopal metro progress. Please expedite up the work process.

Seriously, lacking attention by MPMRCL is cause this and infect kuch officers ko change bhi kiya but still no progress in indore metro. I don’t know why this happend with indore metro only.
