Tata Projects wins major Dhaka Metro underground construction contract

Tata Projects Limited, working as part of a joint venture with Japanese partners Nishimatsu Construction and Toda Corporation, has been awarded Contract Package CP06 by Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) for a critical segment of Bangladesh's Dhaka Metro network.

The contract encompasses comprehensive civil works for constructing 5.2 kilometres of underground mainline, including architectural finishes and complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. The scope also covers three underground stations at Khilkhet, Airport Terminal-3, and Airport, along with a northern shaft structure.

The Dhaka Metro project underscores Tata Projects' growing credentials as an integrated engineering and execution partner capable of delivering complex metro systems across Asia. The company has increasingly expanded its footprint in regional urban transit infrastructure, leveraging its technical expertise and project management capabilities for large-scale metropolitan rail networks.

The award reinforces India's role in supporting critical infrastructure development in neighbouring South Asian nations, with Indian engineering firms playing key roles in major transportation projects across the region. Tata Projects' involvement in the Dhaka Metro further demonstrates the capability of Indian construction companies to execute sophisticated transit systems internationally.
