This 7.93 km package from chainage 3630 to 11564.485 contains two tunnels connecting Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Jama Masjid, SN Medical College, Agra College, Raja ki Mandi and RBS College.

The contract will be funded by the European Investment Bank (EIB) with a debt of 480 million Euros loan.
The scope of work in the project includes design and construction of the Tunnel from the beginning of the subway (near Fatehabad Road Metro station) to the end of the ramp after the RBS College Metro station, which includes seven municipal underground stations (i.e., Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Jama Masjid, SN Medical College, Agra College, Raja ki Mandi and RBS college) which also includes Architectural finishes, E&M, TVs, ECS, among others. The seven infra builders included Afcons Infra – SAM India JV, DRA – Evrascon JV, J Kumar Infra – NCC JV, JMC Projects – CAI JV, Larsen and Toubro (L&T), Gulermak, and ITD Cementation India.
