Rahee & Texmaco Bid for Nagpur Metro Phase 2’s Track Contract T-02

Rahee Infratech Ltd. and Texmaco Rail and Engineering Ltd. on Friday submitted bids to supply and install tracks for Nagpur Metro’s 43.8 km Phase 2 project after Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (Maha-Metro) opened technical bids.

Package T-02’s scope includes installing ballasted tracks 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.

In addition, ballastless tracks will be installed at the elevated viaduct of the Orange Line’s 6.92 km Reach 2A (Automotive Square – Lekha Nagar) and Aqua Line’s 5.33 km Reach 4A (Prajapati Square to Transport Nagar). Reach 2A is under construction by Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. (RVNL), while Kalpataru Projects International Ltd. (KPIL) was just declared as the lowest bidder for Reach 4A’s construction.

Maha-Metro had invited bids for this contract in March 2024 with a Rs. 185.00 crore estimate and 2.5 year installation deadline.

Maha-Metro’s Brief Scope: Design, Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of Ballasted-Ballast-less track in At Grade section of Reach 1A, and elevated viaduct of Reach 2A and Reach 4A of NMRP Phase-2

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.

As the package number suggests – this is the 2nd track-work contract for Phase 2 project. Back in May 2024, Rahee was declared as the lowest bidder for Package T-01 for supplying ballasted tracks for Reach 1A, 1080 Grade head-hardened rails, track fasteners and turnouts.
