Nagpur Metro Phase 3 Detailed Project Report (DPR) Tender Evaluation Begins, Groundwork Expected in May Nagpur: The tendering process for preparing the detailed project report (DPR) for Nagpur Metro’s Phase 3 has entered the evaluation stage, with two firms competing for the contract. Officials confirmed that the tender has been closed, and MahaMetro has initiated technical scrutiny of the bids to assess the eligibility and capabilities of the participating companies. Once the technical evaluation is complete, financial bids will be opened, and the contract will be awarded to the selected agency. The DPR holds critical importance as it will outline the blueprint for Phase 3, which is envisioned as the largest expansion of the Nagpur Metro to date. The project includes multiple new corridors, such as the Inner Ring Road, Sitabuldi-Koradi, Butibori extension, and the New Nagpur link. Officials stated that once the consultant is appointed, on-ground DPR work is expected to commence in May. This phase will involve comprehensive studies, including traffic and ridership surveys, origin-destination analyses, topographical assessments, and alignment planning. These activities will form the foundation for finalizing the project’s scope and structure. The DPR will also determine key elements such as the number and locations of stations, the design of elevated and underground stretches, interchanges, and integration with existing metro corridors. Once finalized, the report will be submitted to the state government and subsequently to the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs for further approvals. The project’s scale and complexity underscore its significance for Nagpur’s urban development.#nagpur #inner_ring_road #mahaMetro #nagpur_metro_phase_3 #sitabuldi_koradi
