On September 14 2021, Nagarjuna Construction Company Ltd. (NCC Ltd.) was chosen as the lowest bidder for this segment, with their proposal closely matching the initial cost estimates. [7] As a result, the contract was awarded to the company, which led to the beginning of the construction works of this metro station as per the agreed terms. [8]
