The bids have now been sent for technical bid 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 for each package.
A list of Phase 1’s 15 packages and their status can be viewed here.
With today’s development, financial bids for 3 packages in Haryana have been opened (KCC & CDS were winners), technical bids for 11 packages have been opened, and a tender notice is pending for just 1 package (Spur-1).

Who do you think will win?
I don’t have access to financial bids. No one does 🙂 Give them a few months to open them.
When is the next opening date for DAK expressway….?
Out of 12 remaining tenders, 11’s technical bids have been opened. Last one’s tender notice has not been published yet. When it is, then I’ll have a date to share.
Financial bid opening date is typically not announced.
Try to put consultancy tender news also for road and bridge projects.
Playing it slow right now, but I can consider down the road
Another budget has come and gone. What happened to the Mohali Rajpura rail link project ?
And what about the Ferozepur Patti Rail link ?
Where do you find this information about the bidders? I mean the data about who all have participated?
I have a nice network of industry professionals who share news & images of developments as they happen. Feel free to email me if you have something to share.
so many bidders
do you have any information about the companies which have interested in indre metro tender 2
I’ve noticed expressways attract more bids than metro packages. Perhaps it has something to do with their greenfield nature resulting in lower external issues / infringements during construction. Eg. Package 27/28 got 30+ bids: https://themetrorailguy.com/2021/03/08/ghv-wins-delhi-mumbai-expressways-packages-27-28/
No idea who’s interested in Indore. Will share list when technical bids are opened. Current opening date is April 20.
May be bcz road construction is easier than metro
So small firms also take part
Bcoz quality inspection is almost zero in NHAI contracts.
Among the list of bidders there is no name name of G R Infrprojects Ltd.
Is it so..?
They didn’t bid for any package
When tenchnical bid open for these projects
Technical bids were just opened, so you mean financial bids? Will take a couple months. If I had to guess, then perhaps May.
