RVNL wins bid for Sholinganallur-SIPCOT line construction of Chennai Metro.

Chennai Metro Rail Ltd. (CMRL) will soon begin work along the much-awaited IT corridor from Sholinganallur to SIPCOT. Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd. has emerged as the lowest bidder for the project on this stretch.

With three corridors — Madhavaram to SIPCOT (corridor 3 – 45.8 km), Light House to Poonamallee (corridor 4 – 26.1 km) and Madhavaram to Sholinganallur (corridor 5 – 47 km), the phase 2 project of Chennai Metro is expected to drastically reduce travel time from one end of the city to the other.
The Sholinganallur-SIPCOT stretch is a part of the corridor 3 and is dotted by several IT companies and educational institutions and will particularly help thousands of working professionals and students beat the traffic and travel back and forth to different areas. On this 10-km elevated stretch, the stations proposed are — Sholinganallur Lake, Ponniamman Temple, Sathyabama University, St Joseph College, Semmancheri, Gandhi Nagar, Navalur, Siruseri, SIPCOT 1 and SIPCOT 2. The contract for this work would be awarded shortly. This elevated stretch will be built in about three years and unlike underground work, it is possible to finish it at a good pace.
