Tenders & Major Contractors

Mathura Metro’s tenders aren’t yet available as the project’s DPR has not been finalized or approved.

Key Updates to Add:

1. Alternative Proposals Considered

   • In late 2023, local residents raised environmental and logistical concerns about the proposed railway line between Mathura and Vrindavan.
   • As a response, authorities are considering alternative transit solutions, including an elevated railway or Metrolite system.

2. Government Interest in Metro Lite Projects

   • The Uttar Pradesh government has expanded its interest in 'Metro Lite' systems for cities like Varanasi, Ayodhya, and Mathura.
   • This indicates that the Mathura Metrolite project remains under consideration, even if official DPR approvals are still pending.

3. Status of the Detailed Project Report (DPR)

   • The DPR has not yet been finalized or approved, delaying key milestones like route alignment, funding, and station locations.
   • Once the DPR is drafted, details about the route, station locations, and estimated project costs will be available.

4. Expected Next Steps

   • The project's future depends on approvals from the Uttar Pradesh state government and funding allocations.
   • Authorities are likely to conduct further consultations with local communities and stakeholders to refine the project's design.
