Four construction firms (1 in a consortium) qualified for civil construction contract BH-05 of Bhopal Metro Phase 1 project’s 12.915 km Blue Line (Line-2) which will connect Bhadbhada Chauraha – Ratnagiri Tiraha via 14 elevated stations.

This mega package by Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MPMRCL) includes the construction of the entire Blue Line’s viaduct, 13 stations, and a ramp leading to Subhash Nagar Depot which will be shared with 14.99 km Orange Line (Karond Circle – AIIMS) for maintaining and stabling 27 Alstom Movia train-sets.  

Bhopal Metro’s Blue Line was earlier designated as the Red Line. Its Bogda Pul Station (interchange with Orange Line) will be built by URC Construction as part of Package BH-03.

MPMRCL had invited bids for the Blue Line’s construction in June 2023 with a Rs. 1121.63 crore estimate and 3 year deadline.

Technical bids were opened an entire year ago in October 2023 to reveal 7 bidders, and bid evaluation was completed.
