Six firms have submitted bids for preparing a detailed project report (DPR) for the proposed metro line to Avadi, marking a significant step forward in enhancing Chennai's public transportation infrastructure. This development underscores the city's commitment to expanding its metro network to serve growing commuter needs and alleviate traffic congestion.

The firms bidding for the DPR are expected to conduct comprehensive studies and assessments to determine the feasibility and viability of the metro line to Avadi.

The selected firm will be tasked with conducting extensive studies, consultations, and technical analyses to ensure that the metro line is designed and implemented to the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

Overall, the enthusiastic response from firms bidding for the DPR underscores the significance of the metro line to Avadi in Chennai's transportation landscape.
