en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 9, Indian engineering company Larsen & Toubro (L&T) announced that it had been awarded a contract by the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) for the Aqua Line extension project, covering partial design and construction. The project involves approximately 15.1 km of elevated line and 10 elevated stations, with a bid price of INR 12.34 billion. The contract duration is 36 months.

The project will be implemented by L&T's Heavy Civil Infrastructure business unit, covering two sections: one extending from Botanical Garden Station to Noida Sector 142, and the other connecting the existing Depot Station with the Boraki Multimodal Hub. Together, the two sections form an important part of the Noida Aqua Line extension project.

The Botanical Garden Station to Noida Sector 142 section will involve the construction of elevated viaducts and associated stations, with a total line length of approximately 11.56 km and 8 elevated stations planned. Once completed, the line will connect multiple residential and commercial areas in southern Noida and provide an interchange with existing Delhi Metro lines via Botanical Garden Station.

The other section, from Depot Station to Boraki, has an extension length of approximately 2.6 km, with Junpat village station and Boraki station planned. Boraki station will connect with the local multimodal transport hub, which is planned to link Indian Railways, intercity bus services, and local bus transport facilities, providing interchange conditions between the metro and other modes of transport.

The two sections total approximately 15.1 km and include 10 elevated stations. L&T's contract work covers not only the construction of elevated viaduct structures but also station architectural finishing. The project adopts a partial design-and-build model, under which the contractor is required to complete the corresponding design and on-site construction tasks in accordance with project requirements.
