Nagpur Metro Phase 2: Rahee & NMC Bid for Track Work Contract T-01

Rahee Infratech Ltd. and NMC Industries Pvt. Ltd. last week submitted bids to supply and install ballasted tracks for Nagpur Metro’s 43.8 km Phase 2 project after Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (Maha-Metro) opened technical bids.

Package T-01’s scope includes track-work within the small 1.746 km at-grade section of Nagpur Metro Orange Line’s 18.7 km Reach 1A connecting Khapri to Butibori MIDC ESR. The at-grade section connects chainage 19550 to 21296.917 with two metro stations named Eco Park Station and Metro City Station.

Besides regular rails, the contractor will also supply special head-hardened rails (60E1 – 1080 grade), track fastenings and 1 in 9 turnouts for a crossover to allow the system’s CRRC trains to switch tracks between the up and down lines.

Maha-Metro had invited bids for this contract in March 2024 with a Rs. 7.96 crore estimate and tight 150 day deadline

Maha-Metro’s Brief Scope: Design, Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of ballasted track in At grade section of Reach 1A of NMRP Phase-2 including supply of 1080 Grade HH Rails, track fastenings, 1 in 9 R300 ballasted turnout and other miscellaneous works

The bids have now been sent for technical evaluation which can take a couple months to complete. When that is done, the financial bids of the technically qualified bidders will be opened to reveal who’s the lowest bidder and most likely contractor.

This is so far the second systems related contract of Phase 2, that I’m aware of, where technical bids have been opened after electrical & mechanical contract E&M-02. A list of all Nagpur Metro Phase 2 civil & system packages and their status / contractors can be viewed here.
