Lucknow Metro Underground Construction Tender, Uttar Pradesh

UP Metro is building the next underground leg of the Lucknow network — 6.7 km of tunnel and seven stations from Charbagh to Chowk — and the design-build package is open for bids until 27 July 2026.

The opportunity

Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) has floated a lump-sum design-and-construction package for the underground section of Phase 1B, reference LKCC (02)-03. Scope runs to about 6.70 km of underground alignment between Charbagh and Chowk plus civil works for seven underground stations. The estimated value is ₹1,877.89 crore. This is deep, boring-machine work under a dense old-city stretch, so expect tight programme control and a build that spans years.

Is this your bid?

This one is for large metro and heavy-civil EPC firms with underground experience and the balance sheet to carry a ₹37.56 crore EMD. If you own or supply machines, the sub-contract and rental demand under a job this size is where your volume sits: tunnelling support, muck haulage, deep foundations and station boxes all pull in fleets for two to three years.

Machines this package will run on

Tunnel boring machines lead the underground drives, backed by segment-handling gantries and grout plants. At the station boxes you’ll see piling and diaphragm-wall rigs, large crawler and gantry cranes, and long-reach excavators for the cut-and-cover, with a steady chain of tippers hauling spoil out of the city. Concrete is the other big line item, so batching plants, transit mixers and boom pumps stay busy right through.
