13 Bidders for Jaipur Metro Phase 2’s First Civil Contract 2C-01

Thirteen civil engineering firms in mid-December submitted bids for the first construction contract of Jaipur Metro Phase 2 project connecting Todi Mod and Prahaladpura via 36 stations.

Jaipur Metro’s Phase 2 project involves construction of a new 42.80 km long Orange Line (Line-2) with a north-south orientation at an estimated cost of Rs. 12,260 crore. The project with 34 elevated and 2 underground stations at Jaipur Airport and Sanganer will be executed by Rajasthan Metro Rail Corporation (RMRC) – earlier known as Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC).

The Orange Line’s first civil package 2C-01 involves the construction of a 12 km elevated viaduct along Tonk Road, depot-line and 10 elevated between Prahladpura and Pinjrapole Gaushala on the south-side of the line.

RMRC had invited bids for package 2C-01’s construction in October 2025 with a Rs. 1145.14 crore estimate and 34 month deadline. Technical bids were opened on December 12 to reveal the following bidders.

Jaipur Metro Phase 2 Bidders (2C-01)

• Afcons Infrastructure Ltd.
• Ashoka Buildcon Ltd. (ABL)
• Ceigall India Ltd. (CIL)
• Dineshchandra R.Agrawal Infracon Pvt. Ltd. (DRAIPL)
• G R Infraprojects Ltd. (GRIL)
• HG Infra Engineering Ltd. (HGIEL)
• J Kumar Infraprojects Ltd. (JKIL)
• Kalpataru Projects International Ltd. (KPIL)
• KEC International Ltd.
• Larsen and Toubro Ltd. (L&T)
• NCC Ltd.
• Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. (RVNL)
• Ranjit Buildcon Ltd. (RBL)

The bids since December 12 have been undergoing technical evaluation which can and will take a couple months to complete. When done, the financial bids of the technically qualified bidders will be opened to reveal who’s the lowest bidder and most likely contractor.

Jaipur Metro’s Phase 2 was approved by the Central Government’s Public Investment Board (PIB) in December 2025 and is currently awaiting cabinet approval. Its Detailed Project Report (DPR) was prepared by RITES in the first half of 2025, and in the past has undergone several revisions by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Egis Rail – Feedback Infra JV (which ended in a legal battle).

Jaipur’s new Orange Line will be connected to the operational Pink Line (Line-1) of Phase 1 via a foot overbridge at Jaipur Junction Railway Station from Khasa Kothi Station. Interestingly, a spur line (seen in orange in the map above) will also be constructed to connect Orange Line’s Government Hostel Station and Pink Line’s Chandpole stations.

I hear RMRC has been in talks with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to fund the project’s construction, so most likely the first civil package (priority corridor) will be funded by local and state government sources.
