MMRDA Invites Bids for Mumbai Metro Line-4’s Telecom Contract

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) today invited bids for the telecommunications contract for Mumbai Metro’s 32.32 km Line-4 and 2.88 km Line-4A (Green Line) which will connect Wadala – Kasarvadavali – Gaimukh through 34 elevated stations.

This is the fourth significant systems contract for this line after the 234 coach rolling stock (won by Bombardier – now part of Alstom),  CBTC signaling and Head-Hardened Rails contracts.

The brief scope also includes work at a depot which likely refers to Mogharpada Depot. Bidding for its construction is still underway despite the MMRDA announcing plans to use a disputed land parcel at Kanjurmarg for an integrated multi-line depot.
