2024-10-18

Rail Vikas Nigam (RVNL) has been named the lowest bidder for the civil package C6 of the Nagpur Metro Phase 2 project, according to the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (Maha-Metro). The contract entails the construction of 10 elevated metro stations along the 6.6 km western extension (Reach 3A) and the 5.5 km eastern extension (Reach 4A) of the Aqua Line, totaling 19.4 km.

Reach 4A includes three stations: Pardi, Kapsi Khurd, and Transport Nagar, while Reach 3A features seven stations: Hingna Mount View, Rajiv Nagar, Wanadongri, APMC, Raipur, Hingna Bus Station, and Hingna. Maha-Metro had called for bids in January 2024 with an estimated cost of Rs. 307.34 crore and a 900-day completion timeline. The technical bids were revealed in March 2024, showcasing only two bidders: RVNL and YFC Projects – BBG Infrastructure JV. The YFC – BBG JV was disqualified due to non-compliance with the tender requirements, securing RVNL's position as the preferred contractor even before the financial bid was considered.
