India’s DMRC bidding for Bahrain Metro Phase I consultancy work

Bahrain - Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), the operator of a 390-km metro network in India's capital, is bidding for consultancy work in the Phase One of the $2-billion Bahrain Metro project, which comprises two lines running 29-km-long and covering 20 stations, reported The Economic Times, citing a top official.

The DMRC has bagged a clutch of assignments from international players and now the company intends to use its expertise as a sole consultant that is also engaged in the execution of metro projects.

As part of its overseas ventures, the entity has qualified in the initial bidding round to take up consultancy for Tel-Aviv metro rail project in Israel, said DMRC Managing Director Vikas Kumar.

Buoyed by the success, India’s first and biggest metro rail company DMRC is set to expand its global footprint by taking up consultancy and management projects for metro trains in newer geographies including Bahrain, Mauritius, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Egypt.

DMRC has entered the Tel Aviv, Alexandria and Ho Chi Minh City as part of consortium bidding for its mass rapid transit networks, said Kumar. However, in case of Bahrain and Mauritius, it has decided to go solo.
