MPMRCL Invites Bids for Bhopal Metro’s 8 Stations
Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Co Ltd. (MPMRCL) on Wednesday invited tenders (bids) for the construction of 8 elevated stations between AIIMS and Subhash Nagar on Bhopal Metro’s 14.99 km Line-2.
This line of the Bhopal Metro Phase 1 project will partially be funded by the European Investment Bank (EIB) and connect Karond Circle – AIIMS through a mix of 16 elevated and underground stations. Per the specifications listed, elevated station boxes will be 21 meters wide and 140 meters wide to handle a maximum of 6 coaches.
This tender notice comes 34 months after Bhopal Metro’s first and so far only civil tender notice came out in May 2018. The scope for that included this same section (AIIMS – Subhash Nagar)’s elevated viaduct which has been under construction by Dilip Buildcon since early 2019 with a completion deadline of 27 months – view construction images.
Tender No: 354/MPMRCL/2021/Package BH-02-EIB

hey bro don’t you think the time between Pre-Bid Meeting ,Bid Submission End Date ,Technical Bid Opening Date is much more than Indore’s tenders
in Indore it was
Pre-Bid Meeting was after 18 days . in Bhopal its 42 days
Bid Submission End Date was 52 days in Bhopal its after 70 days
Technical Bid Opening Date was 53 days and in Bhopal its 71 days
why ????
and also
thanks for mentioning my name
cheers !!
I can’t pinpoint the exact reason, but there are a lot of variables at play here – depends on scope, design complexities, tender value, evaluation committee’s schedules etc.
bru
in 2nd para
it should be 120 meters long
I’ve seen the technical drawings. Stations are 140 meters long.
That’s the standard across India for 6 coach trains where 1 coach is typically 21.9m long.
deduct 24 months from those 31 months for the obvious reasons we need to act oblivious about
what do you mean ???
