Tata Projects Limited (TPL), as part of the Nishimatsu-TPL-Toda Joint Venture, has secured Contract Package CP06 from Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) for the construction of a key section of the Dhaka Metro network in Bangladesh.
The contract covers civil works, including architectural finishes, and mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) works for a 5.2-km underground metro section and three underground stations. The stations are Khilkhet, Airport Terminal-3 and Airport. The scope also includes a shaft at the northern endpoint of the corridor.
The project forms part of Bangladesh's efforts to modernise urban transportation in Dhaka, improve connectivity, reduce traffic congestion and support sustainable economic growth. It is being implemented with funding support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
The contract strengthens Tata Projects' presence in the international infrastructure sector and adds to its experience in executing complex urban transit projects in collaboration with international partners and public-sector agencies.
Rajiv Menon, President & Chief Growth & Strategy Officer, Tata Projects, added, "The Dhaka Metro award is a significant milestone in our international growth journey. Beyond the immediate opportunity, it demonstrates Tata Projects' ability to work seamlessly within global consortium structures and deliver large-scale mass transit infrastructure to international standards. As urbanization drives unprecedented investments in metro and rail networks across the Middle East, Asia and emerging markets, we believe this project enhances our visibility as a reliable partner for governments, developers and international EPC companies seeking strong execution capabilities, engineering excellence and local delivery expertise."
