📋 Tender Overview
Scope : To Construct Mumbai Metro Red Line‘s (Metro Line- 9) Dongri Depot Package CA-207
Brief Scope: Depot land development works and Construction of Depot Infrastructures Comprising Stabling Yard, Operation Control Centre, Depot Control Centre, Administrative Building, Maintenance and Inspection buildings, Auxiliary substation, Road, underground utility duct, Drainage System and Rainwater Harvesting etc. complete (including Architectural Finishing ,Plumbing and PEB Works) for CAR Depot at Dongri for Metro Line- 9 of Mumbai Metro Rail Project of MMRDA
Rithwik Projects Pvt. Ltd. (RPPL) was declared as the lowest bidder for the civil construction work of Mumbai Metro Red Line‘s Dongri Depot by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
Dongri Depot & Workshop, under Package CA-207, is planned to come up on 41.36 hectares of land in north-west Mumbai. This facility will be built to stable and maintain BEML trains for the entire Red Line (Line-9, Line-7 & Line-7A) connecting Dongri – Mira Bhayandar – Dahisar East – Gundavali – CSIA Terminal 2.
Besides an Operations Control Centre (OCC), Dongri Depot will consist of a 690m long test track with platforms, stabling shed (SBL) with 20 lines (with room for 18 future lines), workshop shed (WSL) area with 3 lines, an inspection shed (IBL) area with 4 lines, receiving substation (RSS) and two auxiliary substations (ASS).
MMRDA had invited bids for the depot’s construction in February 2024 with a Rs. 639.58 crore estimate and 52 months (4.3 year) construction deadline.
Technical bids were opened on June 25 to reveal 3 bidders and technical bid evaluation was completed in just 2 weeks which is surprising to me by MMRDA’s standards. During evaluation, KPC Projects’ bid was found non-compliant to the tender’s conditions and was disqualified.
Rithwik Project’s bid of Rs. 733.24 crore was 14.64% higher than MMRDA’s estimate of Rs. 639.58 crore which isn’t terribly too high by Mumbai’s standards, so this will head for contract finalization.
