9 Bidders for Kanpur Metro Line-2’s KNPCC-11 Underground Work
For Kanpur Metro's 8.6 kilometre Line-2, which will connect Rawatpur and Jaurali via 8 stations, 9 businesses—three of them in a consortium—have submitted bids.
Through three underground stations at Rawatpur, Kakadeo, and Double Pullia, the Kanpur Metro Phase 1 underground package, known as KNPCC-11, will link Agriculture Depot to Double Pullia Ramp.
In February 2023, the Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) issued a request for proposals (RFP) for this contract, which had a Rs. 1025 crore budget and a 30-month timeframe.
