Four bidders submit bids for Chennai Metro’s line-4 PSD contract

Four bidders— Fangda Innotech, RT Vision – Dongwoo JV, ST Engineering Electronics, and Zhuzhou CRRC Times Electric—have submitted bids for the platform screen door (PSD) contract of Chennai Metro’s 26.09 km line-4, which would connect Light House to Poonamallee Bypass over 30 stops.

The contract is for design, manufacture, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of platform screen doors for CMRL Phase II Corridor 4.

On this route of Chennai Metro’s Phase 2, full-height platform screen doors will be installed at ten underground stations’ twenty platforms, while half-height PSDs will be put at eighteen elevated stations’ thirty-six platforms.

Chennai Metro Rail (CMRL) floated bids for this contract, which was financed by the AIIB and ADB in May 2022 and had a deadline of 2245 (6.15 years) with an undetermined estimate.

All four bids have been sent for technical bid evaluation, which could take a few months to complete. The financial bids of the technically qualified bidders will be opened after that to reveal who are the lowest bidder and most likely supplier.
