H.G. Infra Engineering Limited (HGINFRA) has strengthened its presence in India’s urban transport sector after emerging as the L1 bidder—jointly with Kalpataru Projects International Limited—for a major Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) project. The joint bid positions HGINFRA with a 40 percent stake and Kalpataru with the remaining 60 percent, marking another significant step in their infrastructure portfolio.
The project involves the design and construction of an elevated metro viaduct stretching a little over 20.5 km. This corridor runs from the UG Ramp to Balkum Naka and includes the Depot Approach Viaduct along with three special spans. It forms a key part of the Thane Integral Ring Metro Project, which is expected to improve mobility and reduce congestion in one of Maharashtra’s busiest urban belts.
Although the estimated project cost was placed at ₹1,424 crore, the winning bid came in slightly lower at ₹1,415 crore, inclusive of applicable GST. The contract will follow the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) model and will be executed over a span of 36 months from the date of commencement.
The order has been awarded by Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited, a domestic entity, and the company has clarified that there is no promoter group interest or related-party angle involved in the award. The contract falls squarely within HGINFRA’s core expertise, reinforcing its capability in large-scale civil engineering and metro infrastructure work.
