Eagle Infra Wins Mumbai Metro Line-4 Stations’ Finishing Contract CA-194

Eagle Infra India was today declared as the lowest bidder for the architectural finishing and pre-engineered building (PEB) roof contract CA-194 at 7 stations of 32.32 km Mumbai Metro Line-4 (Wadala – Kasarvadavali).

These 7 elevated stations in the northern-end of Mumbai Metro’s Green Line are located at Mulund Fire Station, Mulund Naka, Teen Haath Naka (Thane), RTO Thane, Mahapalika Marg, Cadbury Junction and Majiwada.

All 7 station’s civil construction is being carried out through 6.099 km civil package CA-11 which was awarded to Tata Projects – CHEC JV way back in March 2018 with a 30 month deadline.

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) had invited bids for their architectural finishing contract in October 2023 with Rs. 198.19 crore estimate and 20 month deadline. Technical bids were opened in December 2023 to reveal 5 bidders.

During technical evaluation, Relcon Infraprojects and surprisingly Tata Projects Ltd. (TPL) were disqualified as their bids were found non-compliant to the tender’s conditions.

Financial Bid Values

Firm	Bid (Rs. Crore)
Eagle Infra India Ltd	245.64
Landmark Corporation Pvt Ltd.	250.74
Godrej and Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd.	259.24

MMRDA’s Brief Scope: Architectural finishing and plumbing works including interior fit outs, facade etc. along with part design, fabrication, supply and erection of Pre-engineered structure including entry exit structures for 07 elevated stations viz. Mulund Fire Station, Mulund Naka, Teen Haath Naka (Thane), RTO Thane, Mahapalika Marg, Cadbury Junction and Majiwada of Package CA-11 of Metro Line-4 corridor [Wadala – Ghatkopar – Mulund – Thane – Kasaravadavali] of Mumbai Metro Rail Project of MMRDA

Eagle Infra’s bid of Rs. 245.64 was 23.94% higher than MMRDA’s estimate of Rs. 198.19 crore, so this will head straight to the negotiation table. Looking at all other bids – it’s highly unlikely that Eagle Infra would entertain a price reduction without a reduction in scope, so I hope MMRDA just bites the bullet instead of re-inviting bids.

Anyhow, as shared in the past – MMRDA and Systra MVA Consulting (Line-4’s Detailed Design Consultant) had appointed GPM Architects & Planners with designing 12 stations. I’m not sure if this design is current, but here are a few renderings from their website (see link for more).

This line along with all other lines in Mumbai are crawling, and I don’t see it opening up prior to 2026 as a re-tender notice by MMRDA is still pending for the line’s 234 coach rolling stock contract which was terminated by Alstom Transport in early 2022.
