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.
