IL&FS Subcontracted Bhubaneswar Metro’s Construction Work
IL&FS Engineering and Construction Company Ltd. has announced Ceigall India has awarded it a portion of Bhubaneswar Metro’s Phase 1 project’s civil construction work between Trisulia Square – Biju Patnaik Airport.
The scope of this Rs. 302.82 crore subcontract includes part design and construction of 10.97 km Package BBC-05’s viaduct at the northern-end of 26 km Line-1. This is the longest of all 3 main-line civil packages and links KIIT Square and Trisulia Square via 6 elevated stations at Nandan Vihar, Raghunathpur, Nandankanan Zoological Park, Barang Station, Phulapokhari, Trisulia Square.
Its scope also includes a ramp leading to Phulapokhari Depot & Workshop which will be built by M I A Construction under Package BBC-02 on a 16 hectare parcel.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) had originally awarded Ceigall India with BBC-05’s Rs. 898.99 crore contract in August 2024 with a 36 month deadline.
The exact scope of IL&FS’s subcontract remains unknown to me but comes with a 18 month deadline, so I’m assuming it may just be the viaduct’s pier construction work related, with Ceigall taking care of U-girder casting and launch activities.
Subcontract’s Brief Scope: Part Design and Construction of Elevated Viaduct from Chainage 15095.24m to 26052.77m including ramp for Depot entry and restoration works within the barrication of Bhubaneswar Metro Phase-I MRTS on Back-to-Back basis
All stations’ exact location has been marked out on Google Maps over here.
IL&FS is a strange choice to me as they haven’t been active in bidding and winning contracts in the construction space for a long time, so I’m sure Ceigall got a deal here. Anyhow Ceigall is currently setting up their casting yard, here are some snaps of its casting bays under construction they recently posted on LinkedIn:

Hey tmrg
Can you please tell me, was indore metro supposed to get psd??
I thought they signed a contract with BEL last week and is probably for underground stations.
But in the recent pics shared by mpmrcl, even the current stations can be seen getting psd.

Super interesting, I didn’t see a tender notice for it.
Got some news. PPS International is installing them in collaboration with BEL. It appears the actual contract was signed months ago.
Didn’t IL & FS get into all sorts of trouble few years ago. I am surprised they’re active still.
And any idea on Chennai metro’s corridor 5 tunneling?
Furiosa, remember – India ain’t for beginners.
