Bidding and Timeline Updates
Initially, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) invited bids in August 2023. These bids covered similar packages. However, MMRDA cancelled them. MMRDA re-invited the bids in August 2024. They opened the technical and financial bids in September 2024. The contracts were finalized in January 2025.
Each contractor must finish their tasks within 24 months. The start date is fixed as February 1, 2025. The teams now work under strict deadlines. MMRDA monitors progress carefully. This ensures the project moves forward as planned.
The bids were delayed by earlier complications. However, MMRDA now takes charge. They work to ensure quality and on-time completion. The project will complete its station works by early 2027.
Mumbai Metro Line-6: Future Project Developments
MMRDA also re-invited bids for the rolling stock and signaling work. This contract, known as Package CA-232, opened in February 2024. Critical systems still need to be procured. MMRDA plans to complete all systems soon. These steps will help start commercial operations.
Analysts now see Mumbai Metro Line-6 opening no sooner than Q4 2027. The delays mirror issues seen in earlier projects. Similar delays affected the Green Line (Line-4/4A). Civil contracts for that line began in 2018-19, yet work continues.
The new contracts aim to reduce delays. MMRDA works hard to keep the project on schedule. Contractors follow a strict timeline. The agency takes steps to improve future work. They monitor all progress closely.
