History

In May 2022, Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) invited bids for the construction of Madhavaram Milk Colony metro station alongwith five other stations from Madhavaram High Road to Perambur stations, in a package.

Upon evaluation, DRA Infracon - Soma JV, emerged as the lowest bidder in both technical and financial terms and was consequently awarded the underground civil contract.^[3]

The tunneling work in the station started from October 2022, when tunnel-boring machine was launched to drill tunnel to Madhavaram High road station and was completed in August 2023.^[4][5]
