GMR-led consortium lowest bidder for Eastern Freight Corridor
Tuesday, 25 Nov 2014
GMR Infrastructure-led consortium has emerged as the lowest bidder for two packages of the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor.
The project involves construction of a 417 km long double track railway line from Mughalsarai to New Bhaupur (near Kanpur) on EPC basis.
Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL) received five bids for the project wherein the GIL-led consortium quoted a price of Rs 5,080 crore. The award of work will be subject to approval by DFCCIL.
As part of Asset Light Asset Right strategy, GMR Group is not required to provide any equity for the project since it is to be implemented on EPC basis. The project is financed by World Bank through DFCCIL. The project is to be completed in 45 months after award.
The 1,835 km Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor extends from Ludhiana to Dankuni near Kolkata.
GMR Infrastructure is implementing two railway projects for Rail Vikas Nigam (RVNL) at present and has the requisite experience to implement the project.
Rail-track laying at the mercy of 3 cos
16 bidders for Eastern Rail Freight Corridor banking on three firms for machinery
New Delhi, February 18:
Harsco Corporation of the US, ETF France and China Railway Shanghai
Design Institute Group Company have key roles to play in the civil
contract to build the 400-km section of the Eastern Rail Freight
Corridor between Bhaupur and Mughalsarai, both in UP.
All the 16 contractors which are vying for the project are dependent on
these three firms for bringing in rail track-laying machinery. The aim
is to complete it in four years.
This is because there are no more than five players globally in the rail track-laying equipment space.
And an even smaller number wants to come to India, said a source.
Interestingly, 15 of the 16 bidders are dependent on two firms — Harsco
and ETF.
The only exception is China Railway 20 Bureau Group, which has named
another Chinese firm as the track-laying machine partner, the source
said.
Based on past bidding experience, the total contract value of the stretch is estimated at ₹3,500 crore, say multiple sources. Expensive machinery
According to a source, rail track-laying machines are expensive. “A few
years ago they used to cost around ₹10-30 crore a machine,” the source
said.
“And there are very few firms globally with such technology. These firms
are expected to import the track-laying machines, help the winning
bidder lay 400 km within the target time, and then re-export the
equipment.”
The 16 bidders have a good mix of foreign and Indian players, including
Isolux Corsan-Sadbhav Engineering, Gammon-Yuksel, Posco-PNC Infratech,
Continental Engineering Corporation Taiwan-JMC-Brahmaputra
Infrastructure, Oriental Structural Engineers, China Railway 20 Bureau
Group, Essar Projects –KEC, Obrascon Huarte Lain-Constructora De
Proyectos Viales De Mexico-GMR Infrastructure-SEW Infrastructure,
Constructora Andrade Gutierrez-Afcons, Sibmost- Gayatri-Megha
Engineering, Patel Engineering-BSCPL Infrastructure, Chonquing
Communications Constructions Group-Era Infra, Punj Lloyd-Balfour-Beatty,
IL&FS India-China Railway 21 Group, and Unity Infra-China Railway
No. 3 Engineering Group.

Key Decisions Regarding Implementation
Bank agreed to arrange workshops on: (i) procurement aspects of contracting TA studies for those DFCCIL managers involved in procurement; and(ii) importance and benefits of the
proposed TA studies for a broader group of officials of DFCCIL and IR. In addition, Bank team has also requested DFCCIL to provide any other additional topics which they desire to
be covered in these two workshops.
DFCCIL is requested to expedite implementation of the livelihood skill training program and submit a quarterly report on environment management to inform the various activities
along with the status of compliance.
The Bank team also organized a ‘Communication Workshop’ for DFCCIL officers on April 3, 2014. Around 35 participants from DFCCIL headquarters, eastern and western field
offices participated in the workshop.
