Bids Invited for Ahmedabad Metro Phase 2’s Package C3

Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) last week invited tenders for the construction of Ahmedabad Metro Phase 2 project’s 7.553 km Sector-1 – Mahatma Mandir section in Gandhinagar.

This is the 3rd and final civil construction tender notice for this 28.254 km new phase which will see Ahmedabad’s north-south Red Line getting extended by 22.838 km from Motera Stadium to Mahatma Mandir via 20 new stations.

This section will consist of 7 elevated stations at Sachivalaya, Akshardham, Juna Sachivalaya, Sector-16, Sector-24 and Mahatma Mandir. Similar to Surat Metro’s latest tender notice for CS5, GMRC hasn’t hasn’t provided an estimate, which is fine, but surprisingly not even a completion period.

IFB: GMRC/CONS/VDCT+STNS/PKG-C3/PH-2/2022

Package: C3

  • Tender Notice Published: 2/7/2022

This section’s design was prepared by SYSTRA MVA Consulting (India) as the DDC, and its construction will be financed by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) which I expect should begin in Q4 2022.

The first 2 sections of Phase 2 are well under construction with both contractors commencing U-girder launching activity in Q4 2021:

      It’s strange. Must definitely be in the more detailed tender docs. Otherwise biz dev teams wouldn’t know how to base their calculations and bid.
