Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MahaMetro) has named BBG Infrastructure Private Limited as the sole bidder for a civil contract for the Thane Integral Ring Metro Project. The package covers the construction of six elevated stations and carries an estimated cost of Rs 2,237 mn for the work. The tender was issued under Tender Id 2026_MMRCL_1274321_1 and Tender No T1-023/C-02/2025 and specifies a work completion period of 30 months. The procurement move follows earlier project approvals and fits the overall implementation schedule. Scope of work includes the construction of stations at Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar Natyagruha, Manpada, Dongripada, Vijay Nagari, Waghbil and Waterfront along the corridor. The contract will require elevated structural work, platform provision and associated passenger amenities at each location. The design and execution responsibilities will rest with the successful bidder under MahaMetro supervision. Work will involve co-ordination for utilities relocation and traffic management during construction to minimise disruption for commuters. The Thane Integral Ring Metro Project is a 29-km circular rapid transit corridor along the western side of Thane and was approved in August 2024. The corridor will ultimately comprise 22 stations and is expected to reduce congestion and improve connectivity across key areas by 2029. MahaMetro and the Thane Municipal Corporation will jointly execute project implementation and co-ordinate planning for integration with other city services. The corridor will link with Metro Line 4 and Metro Line 5, creating transfer options that are intended to strengthen the city's overall transit network. The single bidder notification represents a procedural milestone as MahaMetro progresses procurement and finalises contract award processes. Construction commencement and sequencing will follow statutory clearances and tender finalisation, with the specified 30-month completion period guiding project delivery. MahaMetro has set contractual milestones and quality control requirements that the contractor will need to meet during construction.
