DBL – RBL JV Wins Gurgaon Metro HUDA – Cyber City Line’s Contract CC-01

Dilip Buildcon – Ranjit Buildcon JV (DBL – RBL JV) on Friday was declared as the lowest bidder for the first civil construction package CC-01 of Gurgaon Metro’s 28.5 km new line connecting HUDA Millenium City Centre and Cyber City.

This new elevated corridor by Gurgaon Metro Rail Ltd. (GMRL), earlier known as Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation Ltd. (HMRTC), will form a ring line and connect Gurugram and Old Gurugram via 27 stations.

Its first civil package CC-01 includes the construction of 14 elevated metro stations, 13.197 km viaduct for the main-line, 1.85 km spur from Basai to Dwarka Expressway, and a ramp leading to Sector 33 Depot. The scope also includes construction of a vehicular underpass at Bhaktawar Chowk

Here’s a copy of DBL’s announcement to the BSE & NSE, listing their bid value at Rs. 1503.63 crore.

SYSTRA MVA Consulting (India) was awarded the line’s Detailed Design Consultant (DDC) contract in October 2024. GMRL subsequently invited bids for Package CC-01 in March 2025 with a 721 day (2 year) deadline. It remains unconfirmed but I hear GMRL’s estimate was likely Rs. 1286 crore.

GMRL had received 8 bids in May 2025 when technical bids were opened out of which 2 bidders (DRAIPL – DMRC JV and RVNL) were disqualified.

CC-01’s Financial Results

Firm	Bid (Rs. Crore)
DBL – RBL JV	1503.63
KPIL – HGIEL JV	1559.55
Larsen & Toubro Ltd. (L&T)	1571.60
GR Infraprojects Ltd. (GRIL)	1643.83
Afcons Infrastructure Ltd.	1651.70
J Kumar Infraprojects Ltd. (JKIL)	1812.86

Brief Scope: Construction of Viaduct and 14 elevated stations from Millennium City Centre to Sector 9 (Inclusive) from chainage (-)381 m to 12603 m, spur to Dwarka Expressway (1.85 km) and ramp to Depot at Sector 33, underpass at Bhaktawar Chowk excluding PEB and Architectural finishing works of Gurugram Metro Corridor between Millennium City Centre and Cyber City (26.65 Km) and Spur from Basai Village to Dwarka Expressway (1.85 Km) with total 27 stations

DBL – RBL’s bid at Rs. 1503 crore was 16.87% higher than GMRL’s likely estimate, so this will head straight to the negotiation table for contract finalization.

The line was approved for construction by the Indian Government’s Union Cabinet way back in June 2023, so it’s been a frustrating wait to arrive at this stage. Let’s now see how quickly GMRL is able to wrap up negotiations because retendering this out will not be beneficial from a timing or cost perspective.

Back in June, DB Engineering & Consulting (DB E&C) – Hill International JV was declared as the line’s preferred bidder for its General Consultant contract. I hear GMRL issued them a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) in mid-July.
