RFPs for Colaba-Bandra-Seepz UG Metro to be issued on 9 Pre-qualified Firms by 20 Sep.

A year after starting the tendering process for the Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro, billed to be the country's longest underground Metro rail corridor, the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) has now finalised a list of nine consortia eligible for financial bidding after scrutinising pre-qualification tenders.

Intending to finalise contracts and start work by the year-end, the MMRC will issue Requests for Proposals (RFP) to the nine pre-qualified firms in the next few days. Fourteen private players, including international ones, have shown interest in designing and constructing stations and tunnels for the underground Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ metro rail project, and had submitted pre-qualification bids during early this year.
