Ceigall India wins ₹918 crore Jaipur Metro Phase-II job

Contract award and why it matters

Ceigall India Limited, through a joint venture with SAM India Builtwell Pvt. Ltd., has secured a key civil works package for the Jaipur Metro Phase-II expansion. The contract has been awarded by Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (JMRC) and is valued at ₹918.04 crore. The scope covers the design and construction of an elevated viaduct and ten elevated metro stations in Jaipur. The award comes after a competitive tendering process that drew interest from multiple infrastructure companies. For Ceigall, the win adds a large urban mass-transit project to its portfolio through a defined JV structure.

Who won the package and the JV shareholding

The contract has been awarded to the CIL–SAM India joint venture. Under the JV arrangement stated in the disclosure, Ceigall India Limited holds a 74% stake, while SAM India Builtwell holds the remaining 26%. The package has been described as an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) and item-rate contract. The order is being executed through the joint venture as per the disclosed shareholding split. Ceigall also confirmed that the promoter group and its group companies do not have any interest in the awarding entity. It further stated that the award does not constitute a related party transaction.

Project scope: viaduct, stations and exclusions

The project involves the design and construction of about 10.8 km of elevated viaduct along with ten elevated metro stations. The scope explicitly excludes architectural finishing works for the stations. The civil package spans from Chainage (-) 600 metres to 11,400 metres. It also includes a spur line leading to the depot. These elements indicate the contract is focused on core structural and civil execution for a critical corridor section.

Stations included in the civil package

JMRC’s package covers ten elevated stations across key locations in Jaipur. The stations listed for this contract are:

• Prahladpura
• Manpura
• Bilwa Kalan
• Bilwa
• Goner Mod
• Sitapura
• JECC
• Kumbha Marg
• Haldighati Gate
• Pinjrapole Gaushala

The inclusion of a depot spur line alongside the station and viaduct works suggests the package is designed to support both passenger corridor functionality and operational integration.

Execution timeline: 34 months and 1,020 days

The execution timeline mentioned for the package is 34 months from commencement. The duration is also stated as 1,020 days, reflecting the scale and engineering complexity of the works. The schedule aligns with typical timelines for elevated metro civil structures that include stations and corridor viaduct works. The disclosure frames the timeline as part of an EPC and item-rate execution model.

Tender timeline and competitive bidding details

The tender for this Phase-II package was floated in October 2025, marking a formal step in construction procurement for the corridor. The bidding process saw 13 infrastructure firms submit bids. Technical bids were opened on 15 December 2025, followed by an evaluation that was completed on 16 January 2026. Financial bids were opened on the same day, when the Ceigall India–SAM India joint venture emerged as the lowest bidder (L-1). The award that followed reflects the outcome of this sequence of technical and commercial assessment.

Jaipur Metro Phase II: corridor scale and station plan

Jaipur Metro Phase II is planned as a 42.8 km North–South corridor connecting Prahladpura to Todi Mod. The plan includes 36 stations in total along the alignment. As outlined, 34 stations are expected to be elevated and two are planned to be underground. The awarded 10.8 km package forms a part of this wider corridor build-out. The stated project configuration underlines the emphasis on elevated construction across most of the corridor.

Market impact and what investors track next

The award is a material contract win for the Ceigall India–SAM India joint venture, given its value at ₹918.04 crore and its placement within a large urban transit programme. Investors typically track how such EPC and item-rate packages translate into execution milestones over the stated 34-month window and how the joint venture structure allocates responsibility and economics through the 74:26 shareholding split. The package is also part of a broader Phase-II corridor of 42.8 km and 36 stations, signalling a larger pipeline of metro-related procurement beyond this specific stretch. Any updates from the implementing authority on subsequent packages, corridor sequencing, or construction start milestones will be key reference points.
