MahaMetro has in the past week published two notices inviting bids for constructing Reach 1A and Reach 4A of the 43.8 km Nagpur Metro’s Phase 2 project.

As you might have noticed – station names haven’t been published in either notices. I haven’t seen MahaMetro announcing them via their social media channels either.

Back in July 2020, a consortium of AECOM – Systra MVA Consulting – Consulting Engineers Group (AECOM – SYSTRA – CEG) JV was the only bidder for MahaMetro’s General Consultant contract for various projects in the pipeline. I’m not entirely sure if a contract was awarded or not.
