AHMEDABAD (Metro Rail News): Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) has floated a tender for the selection of a General Engineering Consultant (GEC) for Ahmedabad Metro Phase 2A, Phase 2B and Phase 3A. This signals the city’s next wave of metro growth is moving from planning into active execution.
The tender, issued on April 1, 2026, bundles three strategically distinct phases under a single consultancy mandate. Phase 2A covers airport connectivity, arguably the highest-visibility corridor given Ahmedabad’s growing status as a commercial and aviation hub.
Phase 2B extends the network to GIFT City, India’s operational international financial services centre in Gandhinagar, which has seen accelerating corporate and banking sector activity. The third element, Phase 3A, covers the extension from Thaltej Gam to Godhavi, the same corridor for which GMRC separately floated a detailed design consultancy tender earlier this month.
Tender Information:
| Tender Notification No. | GMRC/GEC/AHMEDABAD/PH-2A, 2B & 3A/2026 |
| Bid Submission Deadline | 22-05-2026. |
Note: The tender information will be updated once the tender document is released.
Scope of work: Selection of General Engineering Consultants for Airport connectivity (Phase 2A), Gift City extension (Phase 2B), & Extension from Thaltej Gam to Godhavi of Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project
The decision to club all three phases under one GEC suggests GMRC intends to run these expansions in parallel rather than sequentially, compressing the overall project timeline and placing considerable coordination responsibility on whoever wins the mandate.
