Two separate tenders for supplying metro tracks and for laying those tracks in both Indore and Bhopal have been floated by the Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (MPMRCL). Both tenders would be opened within a fortnight.

According to officials, two companies have filled the tender of supplying the tracks: Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL) and Mitsui and Co Ltd. MPMRCL had floated tenders for this contract in February with a 1,022-day (three-year) timeframe and an undetermined estimate.

MPMRCL needs 18-metre head solidified rails for phase 1 of the Indore and Bhopal Metros, and a company which will lay these tracks. For the Bhopal Metro the net requirement of rails is 8,120 tonnes while for Indore it is 8,425 tonnes.

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.
