HVPNL Floats Tender to Shift Power Equipment for Gurugram Metro Depot

The Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam (HVPNL) has floated a tender to shift two 66 kilovolt (kV) power line bays, a capacitor bank and associated equipment at its Sector 33 substation in Gurugram. The relocation will free about 300 square metres of land required for the proposed Gurugram Metro Rail (GMRL) depot.

The work is estimated to cost Rs. 3.7 mn and must be completed within 150 days of the work order being issued. The land is expected to be transferred to GMRL under directions issued by the Haryana government, according to an HVPNL official.

GMRL plans to develop the depot on a 47-acre plot in Sector 33. The Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) will transfer the land to GMRL on a permanent lease at a nominal rent of Rs. 1 per square metre. The monthly rent has been estimated at about Rs. 0.19 mn.

HSVP has also stipulated that it receive adequate space in the proposed metro building and ownership of half of the structure. The agency has separately demolished 61 shops in the marble market and relocated the traders, according to officials.

GMRL had floated a Rs. 4.09 bn tender for construction of the depot on June 16. The deadline for opening bids was extended from July 22 to August 5, and the tender is currently under consideration by senior authorities in Chandigarh. The depot tender is likely to be floated within a month, according to a senior GMRL official. The equipment-shifting contract is intended to clear the substation land before construction activity begins on the depot site.
