L&T Wins Mumbai Metro Line-4’s 2nd Track Work Contract CA-168

The winner of another crucial system’s contract is now known to me. Back in October, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) was declared as the lowest bidder to supply and install ballastless tracks for Mumbai Metro’s 35.2 km Line-4 & 4A (Green Line) connecting Wadala – Kasarvadavali – Gaimukh through 34 elevated stations.

Standard gauge tracks from this contract (Package CA-168) will be installed at Line 4 & 4A’s roughly 19.5 km southern section between Bhakti Park (Wadala) and Mulund Fire Station. A contract for track-work at the northern section (Mulund Fire Station – Gaimukh) under Package CA-161 was awarded to Apurvakriti Infrastructure in September 2023.

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) had invited bids for Package CA-168 in August 2024 with an unverified estimate, which I hear might be Rs. 223.77 crore, and 2 year installation deadline.

Technical bids were opened on October 3 to reveal 3 bidders and their financial bids were surprisingly opened on the very next day.

Financial Bid Values

Firm	Bid (crore)
Larsen & Toubro (L&T)	187.65
Rahee Infratech Ltd.	195
IRCON International	201

Brief Scope: Ballastless trackwork in mainline from POB at Bhakti Park to Mulund Fire Station including siding tracks at POB of Bhakti Park Station and pocket track between Sonapur And Mulund Fire Station of Line 4

This development is from October and I hear that MMRDA has not yet issued a contract Letter of Award (LOA) to L&T. That shouldn’t come as a surprise as MMRDA is very sluggish, easily the most sluggish among all Indian metro system developers, to get to that stage.

Back in September 2024, Apurvakriti began installing tracks on the line’s northern section at Majiwada – see details and pictures.
