25 Jul 2024 CW Team

On 9 July, it was announced by MMRDA that Rithwik Projects Pvt. Ltd. had emerged as the L1 (lowest bidder) for the construction contract of Dongari Depot of Mumbai Metro?s Red Line. The work on the Dongri Depot, which is planned under package CA-207 and strategically located on 41.36 hectares of land in northwest Mumbai, will involve housing and maintaining trains for the entire Red Line. This includes Line 9, Line 7, and Line 7A, connecting Dongri, Mira Bhayandar, Dahisar East, Gundavali, and CSIA Terminal 2. In February 2024, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) had invited bids for the construction of the Dongri depot, with a tender value of Rs. 639.38 crore and a completion deadline of 52 months. After opening the technical bids on June 25, MMRDA identified three bidders. Following technical evaluation, KPC Projects? bid was rejected due to non-compliance with the tender?s terms. If Rithwik Projects secures the contract from MMRDA, it would mark their second depot construction project in Mumbai. Previously, they were awarded the Kasheli Depot contract on Line 5 under package CA-151. The extension of Line 9 to access the Dongri Depot will cover a distance of 4.9 kilometers and include stations at Murdha and Rai Goan. This extension will commence from Subhash Chandra Bose Ground Station and traverse along Uttan Road.
