The joint venture of Tata Projects Limited and China Harbour Engineering Company (TPL-CHEC) has received a letter of award for constructing two packages of the Mumbai Metro Elevated Line 4.

The packages lie on the line extending between Wadala and Kasaradavali. The combined value of both packages is ₹1,048 crore and requires the contractor to design and construct 14 elevated stations with a viaduct of 12.5 km. The project is expected to improve connectivity with Thane.

According to the Hyderabad-based infrastructure company, the project is challenging as it involves construction in highly congested locations as well as management of logistics for transportation and erection of heavy girders.

Tata Projects had successfully completed a similar contract in the National Capital Region with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.

Vivek Singhal, COO, Urban Infrastructure, Tata Projects Limited, in a statement said, “The company has been awarded two important Mumbai Metro packages. We are happy to contribute to Mumbai’s transformation by building both underground and overground stretches of Mumbai Metro.” The Line 4 packages take Tata Projects metro portfolio to six.
