SYSTRA Wins Gurugram Metro HUDA – Cyber City Line’s DDC Contract

SYSTRA MVA Consulting (India) on Monday was declared as the lowest bidder for the Detailed Design Consultant (DDC) contract of Gurgaon Metro’s 28.5 km line connecting HUDA Millenium City Centre and Cyber City.

This new elevated corridor by Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation Ltd. (HMRTC) will form a ring line and connect Gurugram and Old Gurugram via 27 stations.

SYSTRA was the sole bidder for the line’s DDC contract (Package GGNCCDD-15(R3)) when its technical bid was opened in early June, so it was fairly obvious they’d be the lowest bidder when HMRTC moved on to the financial bid opening stage.

This is the fourth round of tendering for this long-delayed design contract which comes with a 48 month duration.

SYSTRA’s Financial Bid Value: Rs. 22.49 crore

Brief Scope: Detail Design Consultant DDC for Civil Architectural and E and M works of Elevated section 28.5 km having 27 Stations Main Corridor from Millennium City Centre to Cyber City Gurugram 26.65 Km and Spur from Basai Village to Dwarka Expressway

I’m not aware of HMRTC’s estimate, so can’t provide an assessment on the chances of a contract getting issued. We’ll have to wait and see how this plays out.

What is certain is that HMRTC this time, unlike last time, is comfortable with receiving just one bid otherwise they wouldn’t have evaluated SYSTRA’s technical bid and opened their financial bid. Now we just need to wait and see if SYSTRA’s bid is within a certain range of the budgeted estimate for a contract to be awarded.

If awarded, SYSTRA will be responsible for producing and proposing alternate designs of all civil, architectural, building services, electrical and mechanical works for the entire line.

Besides an interchange with the Delhi Metro’s Yellow Line and Gurgaon’s Rapid Metro, this line will likely have an interchange with the 72 km Delhi – Dharuhera (RRTS) line at Cyber City and Hero Honda Chowk.

HMRTC in May invited bids for assigning this line’s General Consultant to assist them with design, supervision, safety, quality control and contract management. I’m actively tracking that tender and technical bids for it are currently scheduled to open on August 20.

      The way things are going, construction work won’t start until at least 2026.

      Lots of steps in the process, but largely – the General Consultant’s appointment is pending. I’m hoping they finalize by end of Q1 2025. After that, it all depends on when tender notice(s) for civil construction are published and how the process plays out.

    The advertised cost of work was 19.12 crores.
    The qualification criteria was drafted in a way that only SYSTRA could qualify. The tender was re-published about three times without taking any cognizance of the queries raised by all other bidders…
    Hope everything is fair… 🙂

    It is a mistake to let this project under a new inexperienced HMRTC. DMRC should have done this. Haryana Govt has a casual and unprofessional approach. At this rate it will take 12 to 15 years.
