TDC Contracting has been awarded an electrical and mechanical contract by Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) for nine stations on Corridor Three of Phase Two. The contract value is Rs 92.10 crore, equivalent to Rs 921.0 million (mn), and pertains to work on Line Three. CMRL has advanced the procurement processes for the Phase Two programme. The contract notice identifies TDC Contracting as the executing agency for station level electrical and mechanical deliverables.

Electrical and mechanical work refers to station level systems that support safe and reliable operations. The contract will cover station systems and equipment necessary for train operations and passenger services, and will be implemented in line with project specifications. TDC Contracting will coordinate with CMRL engineering teams to align delivery with the overall construction schedule. The timing of delivery will be governed by contractual milestones and site readiness.

The award is a component of the Phase Two expansion that aims to enhance network capacity and connectivity in the metropolitan area. By securing the contract TDC Contracting will strengthen its presence in the urban rail sector and participate in delivery of infrastructure that supports daily ridership. CMRL continues to advance contracts across corridors to complete the multi phase programme. Industry observers note that such contracts are crucial for integrating systems across new stations and ensuring safety and reliability.

The development is expected to contribute to improved station readiness as civil works progress and to support operational milestones once testing and commissioning are completed. Stakeholders view timely execution of electrical and mechanical contracts as central to meeting projected service introduction dates for extended corridors. CMRL will publish further details and implementation schedules as works progress and approvals are secured. Progress will be monitored through CMRL updates as the Phase Two programme advances.
