Mumbai Metro's ₹2,400 Cr Line 6 Tender Opens as Maharashtra Leads Infrastructure Boom
Maharashtra's infrastructure pipeline is heating up with MMRDA releasing the massive ₹2,400 Cr tender for Mumbai Metro Line 6 (Lokhandwala-Vikhroli) next week. The 18.6 km elevated corridor includes 17 stations and complex integration with existing Lines 2A and 7. Key bidders expected include L&T, Afcons, J Kumar Infraprojects, and Tata Projects. Submission deadline is April 28, with award expected by June. This follows NHAI's ₹1,800 Cr Pune-Nashik highway widening tender (closes April 15) and the ₹650 Cr Nagpur Airport expansion by AAI. Gujarat isn't far behind — GIDC announced ₹450 Cr industrial park development in Sanand and ₹320 Cr water treatment plants across Surat. For contractors, these represent 18-24 month execution windows with healthy 8-12% margins possible for efficient operators.
