The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) awarded Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and YFC-MCL JV with two major civil construction contracts for Patna Metro’s Phase-1 project.
PC-03 was awarded to L&T for Line-2’s eight km Rajendra Nagar-Patna Junction Railway Station section with six underground stations.
PC-04 was awarded to YFC-MCL JV for Line-1’s four km Danapur-Patliputra Ramp section and four km Mithapur Ramp-Khemni Chak section with seven elevated stations.
This eight km section of the 14.05 km Line-2 will connect a ramp near Rajendra Nagar with Patna Junction Railway Station through twin tunnels and six underground stations. L&T will be required to deploy a minimum of four tunnel boring machines (TBMs).
This is the second and final civil package of Line-2 after Package PC-01 which is under construction by NCC. Financial bid values of four bidders can be viewed there.
This package of the 16.86 km Line-1 comprises two disjointed elevated sections on either side of the line which connects Danapur Cantonment with Khemni Chak through 14 stations.
The first, a roughly four km section connecting Danapur with Patliputra Ramp through four stations, and the second another roughly four km section with three stations connecting Mithapur Ramp with Khemni Chak Station which will allow users to switch over to the 14.05 km Line-2 (Patna Junction Railway Station-New ISBT).
This is the first and penultimate civil package of Line-1.
For Line-1, tender notice(s) are still pending for the roughly eight km underground section between Patlipura Ramp and Mithapur Ramp. That section will comprise six stations at Rukanpura, Raja Bazar, Patna Zoo (formerly JD Women’s College), Vikas Bhawan (formerly Raj Bhavan), Vidyut Bhawan, and Patna Junction (interchange).
