HG Infra Engineering and Kalpataru Infrastructure have secured a key civil works contract for the Thane Metro project, marking a significant step in expanding urban transit infrastructure in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The joint contract covers construction of elevated structures, viaducts, metro stations and related civil works, including foundations, piers and station platforms. Once operational, the Thane Metro is expected to improve connectivity between major residential, commercial and transport hubs, helping reduce travel time and road congestion. The project supports the region's broader push towards mass rapid transit, cleaner mobility options and planned urban development, while boosting infrastructure-led growth in Thane's fast-evolving real estate market.
HG Infra Engineering and Kalpataru Infrastructure have won a major contract for the Thane Metro project, officials familiar with the development said earlier this week. The joint award covers a significant package of civil works that forms part of the broader effort to expand metro connectivity in Thane, a rapidly developing urban centre within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
The contract, awarded by the implementing authority responsible for the Thane Metro initiative, is focused on the construction of key infrastructure elements such as elevated structures, viaducts, stations and associated civil components. The scope of work is expected to include foundation works, pier construction, station platforms and allied structural systems, all designed to meet the technical and safety specifications of modern rapid transit systems.
Thane Metro, once completed, is intended to provide an efficient and reliable mass rapid transport option for residents, workers and commuters, linking major residential hubs with commercial and transportation nodes. By enhancing last-mile connectivity and reducing travel times, the project is expected to contribute to improved quality of life and support economic activity in and around the city.
In recent years, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region has witnessed substantial investment in urban transit infrastructure, with metro corridors being developed to ease congestion on road networks and offer clean, high-capacity alternatives to private vehicles. The Thane Metro project forms a vital part of this strategy, complementing existing and planned metro lines and integrating with broader mobility networks.
