Colossus Infra Projects bags ₹34 crore E&M Contracts for Mumbai Metro Line 2B

Mumbai, India (Metro Rail Today): Colossus Infra Projects Pvt. Ltd. has recently been awarded a contract valued at Rs. 33.95 crore for electrical and mechanical works at five stations of Mumbai Metro's 23.6 km Line-2B (Yellow Line), which connects DN Nagar to Mandale via BKC. The five elevated stations included in this contract are Diamond Nagar, Shivaji-Chowk, BSNL, Mankhurd, and Mandale.

The civil construction contract for these stations (Package CA-07) was awarded to NCC Ltd. in April 2019, after several rounds of re-bidding. The construction work saw its first set of U-girders launched in January 2020.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) had invited bids for the electrical and mechanical works contract (Package CA-249) in February 2024, with an estimated budget of ₹30.04 crore and a deadline of 1008 days (approximately 2.7 years). The technical bids were opened on May 31, revealing two bidders, with their financial bids opened on June 18.

Financial Bids:

• Colossus: ₹35.60 crore
• Jakson: ₹37.99 crore

Despite Colossus's bid being 18.50% higher than MMRDA's estimate, negotiations led to an agreed final contract value of ₹33,95,06,966 (₹33.95 crore). The scope of the contract includes the design, manufacture, supply, testing, commissioning, and training of personnel, along with a 2-year defect liability period (DLP) for the E&M works of Line 2B from Mandale to Diamond Garden.

In addition to this, Johnson Lifts has been awarded two contracts for the Mandale – Diamond Garden section:

• Package CA-250: Escalators (₹25.85 crore)
• Package CA-251: Lifts/Elevators (₹9.45 crore)

The Mandale – Diamond Garden section, featuring the five stations, is expected to be the first section to open on Line-2B, with the opening projected no sooner than Q1 2026.
