Kolkata metro invites bids for ₹103-cr metro car depot

The Kolkata metro floated tenders for the construction of ₹103.1 crore New Garia Metro car depot, which will enable the crucial work as the completion of the depot is key to the truncated New Garia-Ruby Park (Hemanta Mukherjee) Metro service. The tender has been sought to complete a series of work, including building roads, tracks, power supply, general electrical works, supply and installation and commission of machinery and plants besides water supply, drainage and sewage system. Once ready, it will be one of the biggest integrated Metro car depots in the city to serve the North-South and New Garia-Airport alignments and will also facilitate the movement of cars. RVNL, the executing agency of the project, informed that the depot is crucial for integrating the country's oldest Metro corridor with New Garia-Airport line.
