All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
The NIT was digitally signed on 16 June 2026 and tender documents were placed on sale from 16 June 2026; the documents print no separate publication timestamp.
Virtual pre-bid meeting: 23 June 2026 at 11:30 hrs; bidder participant details were due by 10:00 hrs at least one day before. Last date to seek clarification: 25 June 2026. Latest date for GMRL replies: 10 July 2026.
Online submission is open from 15 July 2026 at 11:00 hrs and closes on 5 August 2026 at 15:30 hrs. This is the latest amended deadline.
Technical bids are to open online on 5 August 2026 at 16:00 hrs.
180 days, both endpoints inclusive, from the date of tender submission; GMRL may request a written extension, which also requires extending tender security.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Approximate cost is Rs.409.78 Cr, including GST.
Rs.1.00 Cr. Accepted forms listed are an unconditional BG from a Nationalized/Scheduled Commercial Bank, NEFT/RTGS, or bank FDR. Security must remain valid 240 days; the NIT measures this from the last submission date, while ITT C18.1 says from bid opening (same calendar date under the current schedule).
Non-refundable Rs.23,600 inclusive of 18% GST, payable online by NEFT/RTGS by 14:30 hrs on the final submission date (5 August 2026); upload the receipt by 15:00 hrs that day.
10% of Contract Price, due within 30 days of LOA. It may be one 10% BG/FDR valid six months beyond the 24-month Defects Liability Period, two 5% instruments with staggered validity, or 5% BG/FDR plus 5% deductions from running bills under GCC 4.2.1.
BOQ items are paid on actually executed quantities; E&M items follow staged payments. Interim bills are normally monthly: 80% of the certified amount within 7 days after preliminary certification and the balance 20% within 28 days; final certified payment is due within 56 days.
Every pass/fail eligibility and qualification requirement: experience and past performance, turnover/net worth, registrations and certifications, consortium/JV rules, and debarment or blacklisting conditions.
Proprietorships, partnerships, companies, corporations, consortia and JVs may bid if they meet NIT 1.2.2. JV/Consortium members are jointly and severally liable for the whole contract and individually responsible for their MOU/JV duties.
A non-Indian bidder may bid only in JV/Consortium with an Indian contractor or wholly owned Indian subsidiary: Indian side minimum 74%, non-Indian maximum 26%. The Indian contractor/subsidiary must lead and hold at least 26%. Each substantial partner (26%+) needs one similar work of at least 40% of NIT value in the latest amended 10-year window; each non-substantial partner needs one Civil/E&M work of at least 20% of NIT value in 10 years.
Within the amended 10 years up to the last day of the month before bid submission: one similar work of Rs.327.82 crore, or two of Rs.204.89 crore each, or three of Rs.163.91 crore each. Substantial completion means at least 80%.
Liquidity/cash-flow access: Rs.35.00 crore net of other commitments; lead-member profitability before tax positive in at least 2 of the last 5 audited years; weighted JV net worth above Rs.47.0 crore; weighted average annual construction turnover over the last 5 financial years above Rs.188.0 crore.
Available bid capacity must exceed the NIT approximate cost and is calculated as 2*A*N – B, with N based on the 21-month completion period and B covering commitments during that 21-month period.
No applicable metro/MoHUA/Commerce Ministry business ban at submission; no >10%-of-NIT-value contract rescinded for bidder non-performance in the prior 3 years; no LD or other penalty of 10%+ on qualifying civil works in the prior 3 years; no bankruptcy/insolvency in 5 years; and each entity's pending disputes must not exceed 50% of its net worth.
Conflict-of-interest bidders are disqualified; a bidder may submit only one bid (individual or JV partner). A bidder from a country sharing a land border with India may participate only as a registered JV/Consortium member, and subcontracting to such-country contractors also requires registration.
For this tender, Class-I local supplier requires 90% local content; the non-divisible-work purchase-preference procedure applies with a 20% margin. Appendix-23 and Appendix-24 are to be uploaded with the technical bid for local-content status.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Construct, complete, test and commission the Sector-33 Gurugram depot-cum-workshop permanent works, including temporary works and defect rectification, for the 28.5 km Gurugram Metro corridor (26.65 km main corridor plus 1.85 km spur).
Depot buildings and sheds include pile/open foundations, pile caps, RCC/PEB structures, depot deck, earth filling, retaining and boundary walls, drains, cable ducts, roads/footpaths/parking, tanks, pump/DG rooms, car wash plant, drainage, fencing, sanitary/water systems, waterproofing, architectural finishes and site development.
Design/manufacture/supply/installation/testing/commissioning of EOT cranes, STP, ETP and WTP, with minimum 24-month equipment warranty; PHE includes internal/external water supply, sanitary, sewer, effluent and storm-water systems. STP/ETP capacity is as stated in the BOQ and requires PCB/statutory approvals.
Contractor supplies all labour, materials, plant and machinery; designs/removes temporary works; supports affected utilities; provides traffic diversions/barricading; coordinates with track, signalling, telecom, power, rolling-stock and adjacent civil contractors; and bears further investigation and site-condition responsibility.
Works must comply with BOQ, technical specifications, relevant codes, MoRTH and CPWD specifications, drawings and best engineering practice. Overall completion and handover is KD-16 at 91 weeks (21 months) from commencement, with 15 preceding interface/construction milestones.
The complete checklist of documents to submit — mandatory vs conditional, with any prescribed formats, proformas or annexures — plus how to submit: portal and mode, envelope/cover structure, digital signature requirements, signing and attestation rules, and physical originals with their deadline.
Submit online at https://etenders.hry.nic.in. ITT C2.1 describes three parts—tender security, technical package and financial package—while D.7 calls it a two-packet single-stage tender; keep security in the portal's designated security/fee section and keep all prices only in the financial BOQ.
Register one valid Class III DSC with signing-key usage; digitally sign each upload. Tender documents are to be uploaded in PDF, except the portal BOQ in its supplied XLS format without filename or protected-cell changes.
Form of Tender must be signed by an authorized representative, witnessed and dated, with relevant powers of attorney. Foreign-member POA/board authority must be notarized in origin country and embassy/high-commission stamped or Apostilled; foreign-language translations require embassy/high-commission authentication.
Where security is a BG/FDR/TDR instrument, deliver the original to GM/Contracts at HMRTC Depot 2 by 11:00 hrs on 5 August 2026. Failure means the tender will not be opened. No other physical bid originals are expressly required at submission.
Every corrigendum/addendum in order — what changed (original vs amended value), its impact, and the action for the bidder — ending with the values that finally apply.
Corrigendum-1 moved sale close, submission and technical opening from 7 July to 22 July 2026; tied fee deadlines to the eventual last submission date; and moved reply-to-query date from 30 June to 10 July. Corrigendum-3 then moved sale close to 5 August 14:30, submission close to 5 August 15:30, and opening to 5 August 16:00. Bidder action: use only the 5 August schedule and complete fee/security steps at their earlier same-day cutoffs.
Corrigendum-2 expanded the lookback from 7 to 10 years for the general similar-work test, each substantial partner's 40%-of-NIT similar work, and each non-substantial partner's 20%-of-NIT Civil/E&M work. Bidder action: include qualifying projects from the full 10-year window and update Appendix 17 evidence accordingly.
Corrigendum-2 corrected the JV duty-allocation reference from NIT 1.2.1(13)(d) to 1.2.1(12)(d). Bidder action: structure the MOU/JV agreement to the role-and-responsibility requirements in clause 12(d).
Pre-bid 23 June 2026 11:30; clarification deadline 25 June; replies by 10 July; tender sale/payment window closes 5 August 2026 at the applicable 14:30/15:00 cutoffs; online bid closes 5 August at 15:30; technical opening 5 August at 16:00; experience lookback 10 years. No corrigendum changes the Rs.409.78 Cr estimate, Rs.1 Cr EMD, Rs.23,600 fee, 21-month completion or 180-day bid validity.
Genuine conflicts within and across the documents (original vs corrigenda, clause vs annexure, tender document vs BOQ): both sides with citations, and which value prevails.
Original NIT closes submission on 7 July 2026 at 15:30 and opens at 16:00; Corrigendum-3 closes/opens on 5 August at 15:30/16:00. Corrigendum-3 prevails.
NIT 1.2.2.1 and JV partner rules print 7 years; Corrigendum-2 changes them to 10 years. The 10-year period prevails.
ITT C2.1 requires three separate parts (security, technical, financial), but ITT D.7 calls the procurement a two-packet single-stage tender. Treat technical and financial as the two bid packets while placing fee/security in the portal's separate security/payment section; obtain portal-specific confirmation if the interface differs.
NIT says 240 days from the last tender-submission date; ITT C18.1 says 240 days from bid opening. Both events are currently on 5 August 2026, but the instrument should conservatively run from opening to avoid rejection.
NIT estimate is expressly inclusive of GST, while ITT says only GST is payable extra and the BOQ labels main price totals excluding GST. Eligibility thresholds are fixed in rupees from the inclusive estimate, but bidders need GMRL confirmation on comparison/award basis to avoid pricing mismatch.
ITT D.9 says the no-agent declaration is in Appendix-5, and D.11 says the blacklisting declaration is in Appendix-6; Appendix-5 is actually Technical Proposals and Appendix-6 General Information. The signed Form of Tender itself contains the no-agent declaration, and NIT 1.2.1(5)-(6) expressly assigns ban/rescission to Appendix-19, which should prevail.
NIT says tender drawings are Volume 6 and geotechnical report Volume 7; ITT D.7 says the GAD is in Volume 7. The actual files align with NIT: VOL6 is drawings and VOL7 is geotechnical/reference material, so follow NIT/file contents.
Only critical, tender-specific pre-bid queries that could materially change bid/no-bid, pricing, eligibility or contractual risk. Skip generic or obvious questions the documents already answer clearly.
Please confirm whether financial evaluation/Contract Price will be compared excluding GST or including GST, and whether all fixed experience/bid-capacity thresholds derived from the Rs.409.78 Cr inclusive-GST estimate remain exactly as printed. This materially affects price loading and qualification.
Please issue the exact portal cover/file mapping for tender security, technical bid and financial BOQ because C2.1 says three parts while D.7 says two packets; confirm whether any security instrument should also be duplicated in the technical packet.
Please confirm whether TDR is an accepted instrument (it appears only in the validity line), and whether the 240 days run from submission or technical opening. Provide a calendar expiry date acceptable to GMRL.
D.7 calls this a construct-only contract and says GFC drawings will be issued, but Employer's Requirements assign design/peer-review obligations for PEB, RE walls, STP/ETP, EOT cranes and temporary works. Please issue a design-responsibility matrix identifying contractor permanent-design liability, review interfaces and the Schedule-B value subject to PII.
Please confirm that the Form of Tender declaration covers the no-agent requirement and Appendix-19 covers ban/rescission, since D.9/D.11 incorrectly point to Appendices 5/6. A formal correction is needed to avoid a responsiveness dispute.
Commercial, legal and execution risks a bidder should weigh: liquidated damages and penalties, unusual or one-sided clauses, tight timelines, and payment or security risks.
Sixteen key dates carry weekly delay damages from 0.01% to 0.05% of Contract value; KD-16 is 91 weeks. Overall LD is capped at 10% of Contract Value, while the stated total maximum including sums payable to designated contractors is 15%.
Bidder is deemed to have inspected and accepted site risks, must perform further investigations, verify levels/strata, and receives no allowance for errors/omissions or differing strata under the cited ER wording.
The contractor must share site access and coordinate with multiple systems/civil contractors; failure to coordinate can expose it to all resulting costs, while key dates require early access for track, machinery, signalling and telecom works.
10% performance security can remain tied up through six months after the 24-month DLP; one permitted structure deducts 5% from gross running bills. No interim amount is certified before security/guarantees and contract signing, and the 20% balance of each bill may take 28 days.
GST is extra, but all other taxes/duties/levies are priced in and tax changes are not adjusted through the completion/extended period. Price variation applies under the SCC formula, but contractor-caused extensions may limit or remove favourable escalation while adverse index movements can still apply.
Contractor default can trigger risk-and-cost completion, recovery from current/other contracts and performance security, full forfeiture in stated default cases, and debarment from the balance-work tender.
The main contractor bears sole responsibility for site accidents, including subcontractor-related events, with criminal-negligence exposure, SHE penalties and possible blacklisting. Third-party insurance is 10% of Contract Value capped at Rs.20 crore; CAR is 100% of Contract Price.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
