Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Co (MPMRCL) awarded them a contract worth Rs. 2.47 billion with a 27-month completion deadline in October 2018. The first 60 MT section of the project was cast in November 2019, and the company began launching portions on Hoshangabad Road in September 2020. The final segment's casting took place in January 2022. In addition to the elevated viaduct between Subhash Nagar and AIIMS, Dilip Buildcon will build an entry/exit ramp to Subhash Nagar Depot, where 27 3-coach Alstom trains for the Purple Line and Red Line will be stabled and serviced.
