Four Firms Compete for E&M Contract of Chennai Metro Line-4

The Chennai Metro project made progress as four firms submitted bids for the electrical & mechanical (E&M), plumbing, and fire protection contract C4-E&M-06 for Line 4. This corridor, spanning 26.09 km from Light House to Poonamallee Bypass, will include 30 stations.

In November 2024, Chennai Metro Rail (CMRL) invited bids for this contract, with a deadline of 1,630 days (approximately 4.46 years).

The bidders for this contract are Blue Star, IRCON International, Jakson, Universal MEP Projects & Engineering Services (a subsidiary of Voltas)

The contract’s scope involves the system installations at eight of the ten underground stations on Line 4, including Light House, Kutchery Road, Alwarpet, Bharatidasan Road, Boat Club, Nandanam, Panagal Park, Kodambakkam

These stations are currently under construction by ITD Cementation India, as part of packages UG-01 (5.15 km) and UG-02 (4.87 km), which were awarded to ITD Cementation in January 2022.

The brief scope of CMRL's work involves the supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and training for electrical, plumbing, and fire protection works for these eight underground stations, covering the bored tunnel between stations, cut & cover box, U-section, and ramp (chainage 0-173 m to 9+949 m) for Corridor-4 of the Chennai Metro Rail Project Phase II.

The bids submitted by the four firms have been sent for technical evaluation. After the technical evaluation, the financial bids of the technically qualified bidders will be opened to determine the lowest bidder for the contract.
