The appointed DDC by MPMRCL will be responsible for generating and proposing alternative designs for the electrical and mechanical works within Package BH-IN-21. This package encompasses 9 underground and 24 elevated stations for both Bhopal and Indore Metro, with a timeline set at 4.4 years.

Package BH-IN-21 includes stations for both Bhopal and Indore Metro. For Bhopal, it consists of BH-03 (6 elevated stations) & BH-04 (2 underground stations) on the Orange Line, and BH-05 (13 elevated stations) on the Blue Line.

Participating bidders for the project are Ardanuy India, Ayesa India, LKT Engineering Consultants, STUP Consultants, SYSTRA MVA Consulting (India) Pvt. Ltd., and Tata Consulting Engineers.

The tender, issued in September 2023, had an estimated value of Rs 150.7 million. The bids will undergo a technical evaluation process, after which the Lowest Bidder will be determined.

Turning to the Bhopal and Indore Metro projects, Bhopal Metro's Phase 1 project was approved by the state government in December 2016 and by the Central Government's cabinet in October 2018. It includes two lines: Line-2 (Orange Line) from Karond Circle to AIIMS covering 14.99 km and Line-5 (Blue Line) from Bhadbhada Square to Ratnagiri Tiraha covering 12.91 km.
