If HMRTC is not satisfied with a single bid, this package will be retendered. If they are, Egis’ bid will be sent for technical evaluation, which could take several months.
If Egis qualifies, and they should, their financial bid will be opened to see if it falls within a certain range of the budgeted estimate for a contract to be awarded.
What Is The Deadline For The Project
The official DPR has yet to be made public, so details about the line’s funding sources, depot location, construction suggestions (U-girder or segmental box girder), and train operational plan, among other things, remain unknown.
The line will run alongside the Dwarka Expressway in New Gurgaon, which is scheduled to open in December 2022. It will likely have an interchange with the 106 km Delhi-SNB RRTS line at Udyog Vihar, in addition to the Delhi Metro’s Yellow Line and Gurgaon’s Rapid Metro.

In the year 2020, the state cabinet approved the Metro Extension project and sent DPR and other supporting documents to the center. But, the project is approved because of pending clarifications from the Institute of Urban Transport.
