Kolkata Metro Viaduct and Station Tender, Baranagar to Barrackpore

Rail Vikas Nigam Limited has opened bidding for 10 elevated metro stations and roughly 12.3 km of viaduct on the Baranagar-Barrackpore corridor in Kolkata, West Bengal, with bids closing 29 September 2026.

What the package covers

Package BBVS runs from Baranagar metro station (excluded) up to Mangal Pandey metro station, between chainage 4.68 km and 16.98 km. The winning contractor builds the viaduct along that stretch and all 10 elevated stations sitting on it. At an estimated value of Rs 1,587.39 crore, this is one of the largest single metro civil packages currently open anywhere in India.

Work of this kind sits on the ground for years. Pile foundations, pier caps, precast segment casting and launching, then station concourses and roof structures on top. The tender documents released with the notice include alignment plans in two parts, geotechnical investigation reports, road layout plans and the full BOQ, so the ground conditions along the corridor are already on the table before you price anything.

Who this suits

You need a genuine heavy-civil metro record to bid here. Realistically that means EPC firms who have already delivered elevated viaduct and station work on a metro or a rail flyover, with the balance sheet to carry a project of this size across multiple seasons. The earnest money is Rs 2 crore and there is no tender fee.

Smaller machine owners still have a place on a job like this, just one step down the chain. Segment casting yards, pier construction and site clearance all get subcontracted, and the plant demand runs for the length of the contract.

Machines that go on site

Piling rigs and service cranes first, then batching plants feeding a dedicated casting yard. Launching gantries handle the segments themselves, while excavators and wheel loaders keep the yard and haul roads moving. Station work brings in tower cranes and concrete pumps. If you are sizing up a fleet purchase against a contract like this, the equipment finance options are worth checking against your bid programme.
