Bids Invited for Navi Mumbai Metro’s Pending Work

Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation (Maha Metro) on Friday invited tenders for completing balance / pending works on Navi Mumbai Metro’s 11.10 km Line-1 which will connect CBD Belapur – Pendhar through 11 stations.

After many missed deadlines, CIDCO in January announced appointing MahaMetro as the Chief Engineer to execute the rest of the project, and MahaMetro formally took charge in February.

This tender notice deals with pending work at 6 stations in the southern half of the line between Sector 14 and CBD Belapur. The original construction contract for these stations was awarded to San José Constructora – Mahavir Roads – Supreme Infra JV back in June 2012.

Tender: NM1-C-01/2021

Scope: Design (part) and construction of balance works of Concrete & Fabricated Steel Structures, Architectural works, Plumbing and Sewerage etc. of Six Nos. of Elevated Metro Stations at Kharghar Village, Kendriya Vihar, Utsav chowk, Belpada, RBI Colony & Belapur Terminal Station for Navi Mumbai Metro Line-1. (On behalf of CIDCO)

• Estimate: Rs. 103,65,70,428.31 (103.65 crore)
• Deadline: 12 months
• Pre-bid Meeting: 20-04-2021 at 11 am
• Bid Submission End Date: 07-05-2021 at 4 PM
• Technical Bid Opening Date: 07-05-2021 at 4:30 PM

The station names mentioned in the notice indicate a rename might have recently taken place. If true, then Sector 14 is now Kharghar Village, Sector 11 is now Kendriya Vihar, Utsav Chowk is unchanged, CIDCO Science Park is now Belpada, Sector 7 is now RBI Colony, and CBD Belapur is now Belapur Terminal.

A new deadline for starting commercial operations has not been announced, but with MahaMetro now onboard, things are starting to move along opening up the possibility of a mid-2022 partial opening of at least the northern section (Pendhar – Central Park) with the rest opening later in 2022.
