Texmaco Begins Delhi Metro Magenta Line’s Track Work for Phase 4 Extension
Texmaco Rail & Engineering this Tuesday officially began track laying activities for the Delhi Metro Magenta Line (Line-8)’s 28.92 km Janakpuri West – RK Ashram extension between chainage 2814.677m to 30061.24m.
Standard gauge rails (1435 mm) from Package DT-08 of Delhi Metro Phase 4 project will be installed by Texmaco at the viaduct of elevated packages DC-01A (Keshopur – Mangolpuri), DC-01 (Mangolpuri – Haiderpur-Badli Mor), DC-03R (Haiderpur-Badli Mor – Derawal Nagar), and inside the twin tunnels of underground package DC-05 (Derawal Nagar – RK Ashram).
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) had awarded Texmaco Rail & Engineering with Package DT-08’s Rs. 117.08 crore in January 2024 after it was declared as the lowest bidder among 4 contenders in December 2023.
Back in September, Paras Railtech started track-work activities inside the Magenta Line’s 2.03 km underground Package DC-06 connecting Janakpuri West – Krishna Park Extension. That’s the only section not included in DT-08’s scope which includes roughly 92% of the Magenta Line’s new route.
DetoxTraveller 2 weeks ago posted a video on YouTube showing the physical progress made on the Magenta Line’s extension between Krishna Park Extension and Pitampura, which is part of Package DC-01A under construction by HG Infra Engineering and Package DC-01 under construction by CCECC – KEC JV.

As per him Track Work for Mumbai Metro Line 2B started most probably on Mandale to Diamond Garden section.
Any idea who’s the contractor for Mumbai Metro’s Line 2Bs Track Work?

Hey, I wanna know, Is the Rithala-Narela Extension Of Delhi Metro Red line , approved or Not? According to so many portals, It has been approved by Union Cabinet in June 2024. while no Reaction from DMRC came on this. What’s the matter?
Also, wanna know about Golden line alignment. Is it still from Aerocity to Tughlaqabad? I heard That Delhi Govt. Approved it’s alignment from Terminal -1 IGI to Tughlaqabad….
