DRA-DMRC secures Rs. 2383.59-cr Ahmedabad Railway Station Redevelopment Project
Dineshchandra R Agarwal Infracon-Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DRA-DMRC) JV has emerged as the lowest bidder for the Ahmedabad Railway Station Redevelopment Project, involving an investment of Rs. 2383.59 crores. This is the second time that the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) has invited bids for the very same project, as the earlier bids were rejected owing to their high figures in the contract to the cost estimated by RLDA. The redevelopment falls under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, aimed at modernizing railway stations. The contract involves a complete transformation with commercial, retail, and residential developments. It is designed to integrate heritage sites like Btick Minar and Jhulta Minar. Additionally, an open amphitheatre is planned, along the one at Adalaj Stepwell. The project also includes dedicated access roads, multi-modal transit hub buildings, and the development of surrounding areas, among other improvements.
