On 16 May 2017, HCC-URC Cementation JV was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates.^[7] Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements.
