4 Bidders for Patna Metro’s Underground Construction Work
Four construction firms have submitted tenders (bids) to build the only underground package (PC-03) of Patna Metro’s 14.05 km Line-2 which will connect Patna Junction Railway Station and New ISBT through 12 stations.
After Phase 1’s Package PC-01 where NCC started piling work in December, the roughly 8 km package PC-03 is the second (and final) civil package of Line-2 and comprises of 6 underground stations. A station planned at Prem Chand Rangashala between Moin Ul Haq Stadium and University stations was dropped from the plans in 2020.
DMRC had invited tenders for PC-03 in September with an estimate of Rs 1958.81 crore and expects the assigned contractor to complete work in 42 months. Technical bids were opened today to reveal the following bidders.
Bidders (4):
- Afcons Infrastructure
- ITD Cementation India Ltd.
- Larsen & Toubro (L&T)
- Tata Projects Ltd. (TPL)
Package: PC-03

3. Project is in early days
4. Piling work is ongoing. If there’s any major update to share, I’ll post about it.
For #2, to clarify – train design will be similar across all lines. Color is dependent on what PMRC wants for each. It’s one of those things where we’ll have to wait and watch.
8 km w/ 6 stations is a very large package. This must be one of the biggest for metro construction in India.
Yup! Closest in size are Delhi’s CC-23 (Hauz Khas – Kalkaji) and CC-27 (Shankar Vihar – Hauz Khas) in Phase 3.
Financial bids for Package PC-04 (8 km, 7 stations) on Line-1 are expected to be opened soon..Soon means this month or coming months..
No one can provide a firm date or month, not even DMRC’s MD.
Evaluation is nearing completion from what I hear. Will share results when announced.
