GURUGRAM: Dilip Buildcon said on Thursday, November 12, 2026, that it had emerged as the lowest bidder for a Rs 419.47 crore depot and workshop package for Gurugram Metro in Sector 33. The disclosure concerns infrastructure for the proposed elevated corridor between Millennium City Centre and Cyber City, serving neighbourhoods and employment areas across old and new Gurugram.

The company's exchange filing gives a completion period of 21 months and says the amount includes goods and services tax. It identifies Gurugram Metro Rail Limited, or GMRL, as the tendering authority. The announcement establishes the company's declared position in the bidding process. It does not provide a final award letter, a commencement date or a date when passengers will be able to use the new line.

What the Sector 33 package covers

The scope combines civil construction, architectural work, and electrical and mechanical work for the depot and workshop. The company describes the commercial arrangement as an item rate contract. Its annexure identifies the project as domestic and says its promoters and promoter group have no interest in the awarding entity. It also states that the proposed transaction is not a related party transaction.

Residents can read the November 12 company disclosure alongside the authority's own tender documents. Company secretary Abhishek Shrivastava signed the filing, with a digital signature timestamp of 2.05 pm IST on November 12. The document calls the company the L1 bidder, the procurement term for the lowest bidder.

  • Location: Sector 33, Gurugram.
  • Work: depot and workshop, including civil, architectural, electrical and mechanical components.
  • Disclosed bid value: Rs 419.47 crore, including GST.
  • Stated execution period: 21 months.
  • Position announced: lowest bidder in a GMRL tender.

GMRL's June 2026 notice for package AC-04R had estimated the work at Rs 409.78 crore, including GST, and also specified 21 months for completion. That earlier estimate and the company's newly disclosed bid are different figures at different procurement stages. The November filing does not explain the difference or announce a revision to the entire metro project's cost.

How the depot fits into the wider corridor

According to GMRL's project description, the sanctioned scheme comprises 28.5 km, 27 elevated stations and one depot. The main corridor from Millennium City Centre to Cyber City accounts for 26.65 km, with a 1.85 km spur from Basai Village towards Dwarka Expressway. These are whole-project dimensions, rather than the length of work covered by the Sector 33 depot package.

The authority describes the depot as the location planned for the system's maintenance activities. Its published alignment places Sector 33 within a route that connects neighbourhoods on both sides of NH 48. The wider scheme aims to connect residential, institutional and commercial areas with Udyog Vihar, Cyber City and development along the Dwarka Expressway corridor.

The proposed network also envisages interchanges with other transport systems, including the Delhi Metro Yellow Line, the railway station, a bus depot, Rapid Metro and the proposed regional rapid transit corridor. GMRL presents these connections as project plans. The November 12 bidder disclosure does not confirm that any of those interchanges has opened or supply operating hours for them.

The depot procurement is separate from the main viaduct and station construction packages. GMRL's civil tender register records an August 14, 2025 award to Dilip Buildcon and Ranjit Buildcon for the first corridor package, covering 14 elevated stations through Sector 9, the Dwarka Expressway spur and the ramp towards the Sector 33 depot. The ramp appears in that earlier package; the depot and workshop buildings form the subject of the latest disclosure.

What remains to be confirmed

The authority's civil tender register lists AC-04R but leaves its contractor, awarded value and award date fields blank in the version reviewed. That is a reason to retain the distinction between the company's lowest-bidder announcement and a completed award entry. The 21 month period should not be converted into a calendar opening date without an established contractual start.

For background on other parts of the programme, dalimss.news has reported the metro systems consultation, the utility and traffic works package and the second corridor construction tender. Those are separate procurement steps. The new fact in the November 12 filing is the declared lowest bidder and bid value for the Sector 33 depot, while the final award and construction commencement remain to be established.
