The stations covered in this contract are Thakurganj, Balaganj, Sarfarazganj, Musabagh, and Vasantkunj. The scope includes complete civil, architectural, and structural works, pre-engineered buildings, water supply and drainage systems, fire-fighting installations, and full electrical and mechanical systems required for modern metro operations. UPMRC has set a construction timeline of 30 months from the start of the project.
Tender documents were released on the government e-portal last week, with submissions closing in early February. A virtual pre-bid meeting is scheduled to address queries, and technical bids will be opened shortly after the submission deadline. The bidding process has strict eligibility criteria, requiring bidders to demonstrate substantial financial health, a proven track record in large-scale viaduct or metro projects completed within the past seven years, and the ability to manage projects with financial values in the hundreds of crore.
The tender also emphasizes compliance with the national Make in India policy. Bidders must declare the percentage of local content in their proposals, giving preference to Class-I Local Suppliers whose works include over 50 per cent local value addition. Security-related requirements are included for bidders from countries sharing land borders with India, consistent with central government procurement rules.
The complete second corridor spans 11.165 km, including 4.286 km of elevated track and 6.879 km underground. It will feature 12 stations in total seven underground and five elevated connecting heritage zones, commercial areas, and emerging residential hubs. The total cost of the corridor is estimated at INR 5,801 crore, with completion expected within five years from the start of construction.
