STRABAG Wins Delhi – Meerut RRTS’ TVS & ECS Package 23

The winner for another RRTS systems package is now known.

STRABAG International GmbH in February was awarded a Rs. 167.50 crore contract for commissioning the 82.15 km Delhi – Meerut RRTS Line‘s underground tunnel ventilation system (TVS) and environmental control system (ECS).

National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) had invited tenders (bids) for this package in July 2020 for deployment on the line’s two underground sections which have a combined length of roughly 12 km and 4 stations:

• Package 4: New Ashok Nagar – Sahibabad in Delhi with 1 station at Anand Vihar – awarded to STEC
• Package 8: Brahmapuri – Begumpul in Meerut with 3 stations at Meerut Central, Bhaisali and Begumpul – awarded to AFCONS Infra

NCRTC had estimated Package 23 to cost $33.83 million (approx. Rs 250 crore) and assigned a completion deadline of 1550 days (4.25 years) from when the contract is awarded.

Technical bids were opened on October 23 to reveal 4 bidders: Blue Star, ETA Engineering, STRABAG and Voltas, and financial bids were opened on January 15. Apparently ETA Engineering was L2. If someone is aware of all financial bids’ values, please leave a comment below and I can add it in here.
