RVNL – ISC JV Wins Surat Metro Line-1’s Track Work Contract

January 5, 2023: GMRC has issued LOA to RVNL – ISC JV with a contract valued at Rs. 166 crore.

July 6, 2022 Original Post: Per an industry source, Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. – ISC Projects JV in June was declared as the lowest bidder to supply and install standard gauge rails for Surat Metro’s 22.77 km Line-1 connecting Sarthana – Dream City.

This corridor of the 40.35 km Surat Metro Phase 1 with 20 stations is under construction through 4 civil packages (2 elevated: CS1, CS4 and 2 underground: CS2, CS3).

Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) had invited tenders (bids) for this systems contract in January 2022 financed by Agence Française de Développement (AFD) with an unknown estimate.

I don’t have bid values for all qualified bidders at this time. If someone does, then leave a comment below or shoot me a message via the Contact page. I’d like to add it in here for record keeping.

Scope: Design, Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of Ballastless Track from Sarthana to Dream City in Elevated and Underground Sections Including Connecting Lines to Depot along with Ballasted / Ballastless / Embedded Standard Gauge Track For Corridor-I, Surat Metro Rail Project, Phase – 1

      Naah, rolling stock tender is stuck. Like MahaMetro did in Pune, they could bring in an Ahmedabad Metro train for show but that’s the most we could possibly see.
