Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) plans to start token work for the Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro from November.
MMRC has awarded the Rs 150 crore work order to construct a boundary wall and shift utilities at a plot in Aarey, Goregaon, to RK Madhani, a civic contractor. A metro car depot has been proposed to be constructed there.
Nine consortia have been shortlisted for the tunneling and station construction contracts. However, documents for financial bidding are yet to be handed over to the shortlisted consortia.
The Requests for Proposals are yet to be issued as the metro rail corporation is awaiting approval of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which is financing more than half the project cost.
The Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro will be Mumbai’s first fully underground Metro line running for 33.5 km and having 26 stations built underground. The Metro corridor will connect Nariman Point, Bandra-Kurla Complex, Andheri MIDC and SEEPZ, and the Mumbai airport.
