CHENNAI (Metro Rail News): Four bidders have submitted bids for the Platform Screen Door (PSD) contract of Chennai Metro’s 26.09 km Line-4, which would connect Light House to Poonamallee Bypass over 30 stops.

On this route of Chennai Metro’s Phase 2, full-height platform screen doors will be installed at ten underground stations’ twenty platforms, while half-height PSDs will be put at eighteen elevated stations’ thirty-six platforms.
