Agra Metro Invites Bids For Depot Works On Line Two

Agra Metro has invited bids for civil, pre-engineered building and electrical and mechanical works for the depot on Line two. The invitation covers construction of stabling lines, workshops and ancillary structures required to support operations on the corridor. The tender notice indicates a comprehensive package aimed at enabling commissioning and maintenance activities for the line.

The civil scope includes site clearance, earthworks, foundations, retaining structures and platform and yard construction, while the pre-engineered building component covers fabrication and erection of steel shed structures and associated roofing and cladding. The electrical and mechanical scope encompasses power distribution, traction power provisions, station and depot services, ventilation, fire protection and equipment installation. The works will also include track laying within the depot, drainage, road access and utility diversions necessary for functional integration. The scope further requires adherence to testing and commissioning protocols to ensure operational safety.

The procurement process has been structured to invite experienced contractors with demonstrable track records in metro depot delivery and complex industrial buildings. Tender documents set out technical specifications, quality standards and contract conditions that bidders must meet, with evaluation to consider technical capacity, past performance and financial robustness. The authority intends to follow established public procurement norms and require compliance with safety and environmental management requirements during execution. The tender process will include site visits and clarifications to aid bidder understanding of technical conditions.

Delivery of the depot works is expected to be critical to enabling operational reliability and routine maintenance for Line two, and to support future service expansion in the city. The contracts are likely to generate construction activity and skilled employment in the vicinity while establishing long term facilities for train stabling and upkeep. The tender invitation represents a key procurement milestone for the project as it moves towards network readiness. Contractors will be required to coordinate with local authorities to manage traffic and minimise disruption during works.
