JAIPUR (Metro Rail News): Ayesa India has won the contract to be the Detailed Design Consultant (DDC) for Jaipur Metro’s Phase 1C and 1D projects. These two phases will extend Jaipur’s Pink Line in either direction, to Transport Nagar in the east and Ajmer Road Chauraha in the west.
DMRC invited bids for this DDC contract in July 2023, with a budget of Rs. 4.39 crore. Ayesa placed the lowest bid of Rs. 3.19 crore, which was well below the estimate.
Ayesa’s role as DDC will include producing and proposing alternate designs for all civil, architectural, building services, electrical, and mechanical works.
The construction contract for the underground section of Phase 1C (Badi Chaupar – Transport Nagar Ramp) was awarded to Afcons Infra in early September 2023. The tendering process for the elevated sections of Phase 1C and 1D was cancelled in mid-September 2023, and a retender notice is still pending.
The expected timeline for the completion of Phase 1C and 1D is not yet known.
