The European Investment Bank (EIB) will fund this contract with a 480 million Euro loan. Because of Afcons – Sam’s bid of Rs. 1819.79 crore was significantly lower than UPMRC’s estimate (Rs. 2200 crore); the contract should be awarded in the following weeks without a lengthy financial evaluation period.

This summer, construction is expected to start first on the Taj Mahal – Jama Masjid section. Along with Sam India’s 4 km elevated AGCC-01 on Fatehabad Road forms a part of Agra Metro’s 7 km Priority Section.
