5 Bidders for Nagpur Metro Phase 2 Package C-11’s Contract

Five civil engineering firms have submitted bids to construct Package C11 of the 43.8 km Nagpur Metro Phase 2 project after Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MAHA-METRO) opened technical bids on Wednesday.

The scope of this package purely involves construction of 3 disjointed viaducts for Phase 2’s Reach 2B, Reach 3A and Reach 4A. The construction of 16 elevated metro stations en route will be carried out via dedicated station packages.

Nagpur Metro’s Reach 2B includes a 5.9 km viaduct for the northern extension of the Orange Line between Cantonment and Kanhan. Reach 3A includes a 6.4 km viaduct of the Aqua Line’s western extension from Lokmanya Nagar to Hingna, while Reach 4A includes a 5.3 km viaduct for the Aqua Line’s eastern extension from Prajapati Square to Transport Nagar.

The construction of these 3 sections’ viaducts were originally planned via 3 separate packages C-07, C-03 and C-04 respectively. The tendering process those packages were cancelled in February 2024 with their scope getting absorbed into one mega contract under Package C-11.

MahaMetro had invited bids for Package C-11’s construction in March 2024 with a Rs. 1010 crore estimate and 1080 day (3 year) construction deadline.
