July 6, 2022 Original Post: Per an industry source, Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. – ISC Projects JV in June was declared as the lowest bidder to supply and install standard gauge rails for Surat Metro’s 22.77 km Line-1 connecting Sarthana – Dream City.

This corridor of the 40.35 km Surat Metro Phase 1 with 20 stations is under construction through 4 civil packages (2 elevated: CS1, CS4 and 2 underground: CS2, CS3).
