L&T bagged the project as a part of a consortium that included Ansaldo STS of Italy, Bombardier Transportation of UK, Impregilo S.p.A of Italy, Nesma & Partners of Saudi Arabia. The total value of order is $5.94 billion (approximately Rs 35,000 crore), of which the job to be done by L&T is worth $1.4 billion.
The project will be executed in four years, which will be preceded by eight months to prepare the detailed designs and to carry out the enabling works, the coordination for utilities diversion and the site preparation works. Upon completions, the consortium would have four months for system demonstration, trial runs and project handing over. The scope of the order entails design, construction and commissioning of a 41 km-driverless train operation that can carry around 5,000 passengers every hour.
