The project comprises two packages in all: and Package L2B-C102. The scope of the former extends to include the design and construction of 10 elevated stations and elevated viaducts from Chainage 34035.873 m to Chainage 46860.384 of Line-2B belonging to MMRDA’s Mumbai Rail Project. While its completion period is projected to be 30 months, its estimated cost stands at a total of Rs 1167.65 crore.

In October MMRDA opened the technical bids for this particular bidding round, disclosing in the process that seven bids were submitted on the total by four bidders.
