India’s Tata Projects, in a joint venture with Japanese firms Nishimatsu Construction and Toda Corporation, has secured a contract to build an underground section of the Dhaka Metro network.
The contract, awarded by Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL), covers the construction of a 5.2-km underground main line, including civil works, architectural finishes, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
The project also includes three underground stations at Khilkhet, Airport Terminal 3 and Airport, as well as a shaft at the northern end.
The project is being implemented with funding support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
“Tata Projects Limited (TPL), as part of the Nishimatsu-TPL-Toda Joint Venture, has secured Contract Package CP06 from Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) for a key section of the Dhaka Metro network in Bangladesh,” the company said in a statement.
The company said the project reinforces Tata Projects’ position as an integrated engineering and execution partner, demonstrating its ability to deliver complex metro systems in collaboration with global contractors and public-sector agencies.
It added that the project is a critical component of Bangladesh’s plan to modernise urban transportation, improve connectivity, reduce congestion and support sustainable economic growth in Dhaka.
“As urbanisation drives unprecedented investments in metro and rail networks across the Middle East, Asia and emerging markets, we believe this (Dhaka) project enhances our visibility as a reliable partner for governments, developers and international EPC companies seeking strong execution capabilities, engineering excellence and local delivery expertise,” said Rajiv Menon, president and chief growth and strategy officer of Tata Projects.
Tata Projects is a technology-led engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company specialising in large and complex urban and industrial infrastructure projects, including refineries and petrochemical plants.
