A consortium of engineering firms, Systra, RITES and DB Engineering, was selected as the general consultants for the Airport Metro Rail project, the Metro authority announced on Thursday, with the consortium winning it out among four other consortia.
NVS Reddy, managing director of HAML, said, "This consortium will deploy 18 experts of different railway engineering disciplines and about 70 senior and field
engineering personnel during the construction of Airport Metro. Its selection was based on the recommendations of a technical committee, which analysed the capabilities, experience and competence of the five consortia."
He said, "The Systra-led consortium not only got the highest technical score but gave the lowest financial quote, of 98.54 crores, for an engineering consultancy."
