The companies will have to design, manufacture, supply, test and commission the rolling stock. The Broad gauge cars supplied under the tender should be compatible and suitable for integration with the existing broad gauge cars of the DMRC.
The existing broad gauge cars of DMRC include RS2, RS5, RS7 and RS11 and are supplied by BT consortium.
DMRC in its tender [PDF] has estimated the completion period of work as 100 weeks. The cost of the tender documents is Rs 23,600 (including GST) and the last date of seeking clarification has been set to 5 November.
