DMRC Floats Tender for Ballastless Track on Patna Metro Line One

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (DMRC) has floated a tender for installation, testing and commissioning of ballastless track of standard gauge for Patna Metro Line one. The scope covers the elevated section from Mithapur null point to Khemni Chack of corridor one and includes supply of buffer stops and associated works. The approximate cost of the contract is Rs 169.2 mn and the completion period is eight months.

The tender documentation specifies technical parameters for ballastless track panels, rail fastenings and transition arrangements at interface points with conventional track. Bidders are expected to demonstrate prior experience in elevated track systems and capability to manage supply and erection within urban corridor constraints. The procurement forms part of broader efforts to advance the Patna Metro Rail Project and to ensure compatibility with standard gauge rolling stock.

Published details indicated that full tender documents and in-depth specifications were available through the publisher's subscription service, with select summary details released publicly. The editorial team noted that the tender follows other recent metro procurement activities in the region, reflecting continued investment in urban rail infrastructure. Tenderers will need to comply with regulatory clearances and site safety norms during installation and testing phases.

Ballastless track systems are commonly selected for elevated alignments because they offer reduced maintenance requirements and longer service life compared with ballast track, while providing better alignment stability for higher speed operations. DMRC has set the completion period at eight months to ensure rapid delivery of the works and integration with ongoing civil and systems activities on Patna Metro Line one. Contractors will be assessed on technical competence, delivery schedule and quality assurance arrangements as part of the evaluation.
