Tata Projects has been awarded the Chennai Metro Rail’s 9 km twin-bored tunnel under Package TU-01. The tunnel extends from the Venugopal Nagar station shaft to Kellys station and is expected to be completed by FY2026. The project represents a significant milestone among major metro projects in India, contributing to the expansion of urban mobility infrastructure.
The scope includes the construction of diaphragm walls and launching and retrieval shafts for the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) at four stations, along with a dedicated launching shaft. For FY2024, the launch and retrieval sequence is planned for seven TBMs working simultaneously, of which four are already in operation. This initiative also aligns with several upcoming metro rail projects in India, supporting the growing demand for efficient urban transportation.
