Ceigall India (CIL), in joint venture with SAM India Builtwell (SAM), has emerged as the lowest (L-1) bidder for a major Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation project, securing a contract valued at Rs 9.18 billion. The project has been awarded under a joint venture arrangement in which Ceigall India holds a 74 per cent stake, while SAM India Builtwell holds the remaining 26 per cent.

The scope of work includes the design and construction of an elevated viaduct along with ten elevated metro stations as part of Jaipur Metro Phase-II of the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS). The stations to be developed under the project are Prahladpura, Manpura, Bilwa Kalan, Bilwa, Goner Mod, Sitapura, JECC, Kumbha Marg, Haldighati Gate and Pinjrapole Gaushala. Architectural finishing of the stations has been excluded from the current contract scope.

The project stretch covers a total alignment from chainage –600 metres to 11,400 metres and also includes the construction of a spur line leading towards the metro depot. The elevated corridor is expected to play a critical role in improving urban mobility and easing traffic congestion across key growth corridors of Jaipur.

With this order win, Ceigall India further strengthens its presence in the urban infrastructure and metro rail segment, adding a significant project to its order book. The company has been actively expanding its footprint across highways, bridges and urban transport infrastructure, leveraging its execution capabilities and engineering expertise.

The Jaipur Metro Phase-II project is a key component of the city’s long-term public transport expansion plan and is aimed at enhancing connectivity to emerging residential, industrial and commercial zones. Once completed, the elevated corridor and stations are expected to improve passenger convenience, reduce travel time and support sustainable urban development in the Rajasthan capital.
