Three civil construction companies submitted bids last week for the 3.5 km Package DC-01A (Vikaspuri Ramp – Mangolpuri) of the 28.92 km Janakpuri West – RK Ashram extension of the Delhi Metro Magenta Line.

The elevated section has four stations of 12.375 km Package DC-01 of the Delhi Metro Phase 4 project, which connects Vikaspuri Ramp and Haiderpur-Badli Mor Station via ten stations.

China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation – KEC International (CCECC – KEC) JV received the construction contract from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) in November 2019 with a 30-month completion deadline.

Following discussions between CCECC – KEC and DMRC, this portion was removed from the purview of DC-01. In September, the DMRC floated a construction bid with a 24-month timetable and an estimated cost of Rs. 3.98 billion.

The bidders include HG Infra Engineering, KEC International, and Sam India Builtwell.
