SYSTRA Bids for Gurugram Metro HUDA – Cyber City Line’s DDC Contract

SYSTRA MVA Consulting (India) is the only bidder for the Detailed Design Consultant (DDC) contract GGNCCDD-15(R2) of Gurgaon Metro’s 28.5 km line connecting HUDA Millenium City Centre and Cyber City.

This elevated new corridor by Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation Ltd (HMRTC) will form a ring line through Gurugram and Old Gurugram via 27 stations. The project was approved for construction by the Indian Government’s Union Cabinet in June 2023 with an estimated cost of Rs. 5452 crore.

This is the third round of tendering for this long-delayed contract. Back in August 2022, HMRTC received 1 bid from Egis Rail, and then in May 2023 they received 3 bids from Egis, STUP Consultants and Spectrum Consultants – Tandon Consultants – Fountainhead JV.

HMRTC re-invited bids in February 2024 with a Rs. 19.12 crore estimate and 48 month contract duration. Systra’s technical bid was opened this afternoon.

Brief Scope: Detail Design Consultant DDC for Civil Architectural and E and M works of Elevated section 28.5 km having 27 Stations Main Corridor from Millennium City Centre to Cyber City Gurugram 26.65 Km and Spur from Basai Village to Dwarka Expressway

If HMRTC is satisfied with the participation in this round, then Systra’s bid will undergo technical evaluation which can take a couple months to complete. If Systra qualifies, then their financial bid will be opened to see if their bid is within a certain range of the budgeted estimate for a contract to be awarded.

Besides an interchange with the Delhi Metro’s Yellow Line and Gurgaon’s Rapid Metro, this line will likely have an interchange with the 72 km Delhi – Dharuhera (RRTS) line at Cyber City and Hero Honda Chowk.

Due to the delay in assigning a DDC, the chances of construction starting in 2024 are now slim given the time required to prepare detailed designs and to conduct the bidding process for civil construction.
