Three Firms Bid for Track Work on Mumbai Metro Line 2B

Paras Railtech, Apurvakriti Infrastructure (AIPL), and Rahee Infratech have submitted bids for the second ballastless track-work contract on Mumbai Metro Line 2B (Yellow Line). This 23.6 km corridor connects Andheri West to Mandale, enhancing east-west connectivity in the city.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) floated the tender in March 2025 with an estimated value of Rs 1.22 billion (Rs 121.83 crore). The scope includes:
Design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of standard gauge ballastless track from Andheri West Station (Ch: 34+035.873) to ITO Station in Bandra-Kurla Complex (Ch: 44+857.698). The technical bids were opened on 22 April 2025, revealing three bidders. These bids will now undergo technical evaluation. Financial bids of technically qualified firms will be opened later to select the lowest bidder for the contract.

In a recent development, MMRDA has commenced trial runs on the Mandale-Mankhurd stretch of Line 2B. This 5.3 km segment spans from Diamond Garden to Mandale, covering five stations. The ongoing work reflects MMRDA’s efforts to fast-track infrastructure completion along Mumbai’s expanding metro network, with Line 2B serving as a critical connector across the western and eastern suburbs.
