Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (UPMRCL) has awarded a ₹107.79 crore contract to GHV (India) Pvt. Ltd. for the construction of a depot-cum-workshop at Vasant Kunj on Hardoi Road for the Lucknow Metro East-West Corridor.

The contract, issued under tender number LKCC(02)-01 on June 9, 2026, will be executed over a period of 540 days. Five bidders participated in the tender, with GHV India emerging as the lowest bidder (L1), while the remaining four bidders were rejected after financial evaluation.

The scope of work includes construction of a full-fledged depot facility comprising structural and architectural works along with plumbing, water supply and sewage systems, drainage, pre-engineered building (PEB) works, electrical and mechanical installations, HVAC systems, firefighting infrastructure, and external development works including roads and site utilities.

The depot will serve as a key maintenance and operations hub for the upcoming Lucknow Metro East-West Corridor.

The East-West Corridor forms part of Lucknow Metro Phase 1B and will connect Charbagh Railway Station to Vasant Kunj through a mix of underground and elevated sections. The 11.2-km corridor will include 12 stations, and the Vasant Kunj depot is expected to play a critical role in supporting train operations, maintenance, and overall service reliability for the line.
