On March 21, 2022, the CMRL invited bids from eligible consultants, before April 2022 for the preparation of the feasibility study report having traffic data.

Trichy, Tirunelveli, and Salem were the cities that had been selected by CMRL for the feasibility study.

The CMRL in the order stated that based on the state’s direction, it has floated e-tenders on a single stage from eligible consultants, who should be a registered sole proprietorship company or consultancy having a registered office in India and incorporated under the Company Act 1956/2013. These are the eligibility criteria for the preparation of a feasibility study report to introduce MRTS in these three cities. Interested players shall submit the bid in two parts – technical and financial.
