New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party led Delhi Government has refused to grant sanction for construction of two new corridors of DMRC’s phase-IV project. Delhi government declaring two of the six corridors “economically unviable”. These two corridors are Rithala-Bawana-Narela and Aerocity-Saket-Tughlakabad corridor which have been found to be non-feasible in a detailed analysis of Phase IV conducted by the chief secretary at the behest of the Kejriwal government. The DMRC had sought a nod for three routes- Janakpuri West to RK Ashram, Mukundpur to Maujpur and Aerocity-Tughlakabad. It was planning to initiate work for Phase-IV starting from the Aerocity line, followed by Rithala-Bawana-Narela as it deemed a significant route to the DMRC. It had also put in place tasks like civil design, building architect so as to start the work as soon as it gets a green signal from the government. In last year Delhi Government had given in principle approval to DMRC on a detaile...

Bangalore: Four construction firms have thrown their hats in for the pre-qualification bids to build the metro’s 13.8-km underground section between Dairy Circle and Nagawara. This is the most expensive portion of work in Phase II, whose total network will be 72.09 km. Estimated to cost Rs 11,014 crore, work on Reach 6 has been broken up into five packages (including one elevated section between Gottigere and Swagath Road Cross). Bids for the underground section were floated in June this year.

Although 16 firms bought the tender documents online, only four submitted applications. The four firms – ITD Cementation India , AFCONS Infrastructure , L&T Constructions and Turkey-based Gulermak -are all engaged in metro projects in different cities in the country. While L&T has participated only in two undergro...
