Vijayawada: The
Andhra Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited
(APMRCL) has issued a
Request for Proposal
(RFP) to select a consultant for preparing a combined
Detailed Project Report
(DPR) for a double-decker, four-lane flyover cum metro rail. This initiative is part of Phase 1 of the Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada metro rail projects.
As per APMRCL, the consultant's responsibilities include preparing the combined DPRs for the
double-decker flyover
cum metro rail — spanning 20.16 km (15.1 km + 5.06 km) in Visakhapatnam and 4.7 km in Vijayawada — for submission to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The consultant will also provide assistance to APMRCL and NHAI until the DPR receives approval from MoRTH.
It's worth noting that the Andhra Pradesh govt previously approved DPRs for Phase 1 construction in three corridors for both Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada metro rail projects, covering 46.23 km and 38.40 km respectively. In Visakhapatnam, corridor 1 of the metro rail will extend 34 km on NH-16 from Kommadi Junction to the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant gate. Similarly, in Vijayawada, corridor 1 will cover 4.7 km along NH-16, from Ramavarappadu Junction to Nidamanuru.
Meanwhile, NHAI conducted a feasibility study to develop 12 new flyovers across various junctions from Madhurawada to Lankapalem in Visakhapatnam, alongside a new flyover from Ramavarappadu Junction to Nidamanuru in Vijayawada. The state govt and NHAI have decided to integrate the metro and flyover into a two-layer, double-decker flyover system to minimize road space usage and optimize costs.

It was further agreed that costs for constructing the double-decker flyover will be shared by both APMRCL and NHAI, with APMRCL serving as the single execution agency. This approach follows a similar project executed by the Maharashtra govt for the double-decker flyover in Nagpur metro.
Consultants are required to submit their proposals by 3:00 PM on May 14, 2025, with the opening of proposals scheduled at 3:30 PM on the same day. Additionally, the consultants must deliver the combined DPRs within six weeks of receiving the Letter of Acceptance (LoA).
In a parallel development, APMRCL has invited e-tenders for the appointment of general consultants for Phase 1 of the Vijayawada metro rail project. The project will be executed in two corridors spanning a total of 38.40 km, with consultancy works valued at approximately ₹205 crore. The deadline for submitting tender bids is 3:00 PM on June 16, 2025, with technical bids set to open at 3:30 PM on the same day.
