For the laying of the tracks, four companies are in the race to get the contract, worth about Rs 2.40 billion. These are Larsen & Toubo, Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd, Texmaco Rail & Engineering and Vijay Nirman Company Pvt Ltd.

The work on the metro rail is going on round the clock in two shifts, in which the work increases after 11 pm as the traffic flow decreases in the belt where work is going on.
