PENANG: Scomi Engineering Bhd is among seven international consortia that submitted pre-qualification bids, which closed on Jan 25, for the RM5bil Mumbai monorail project.

Scomi is in the consortium led by India-based Larsen & Toubro Ltd.

The other consortia are Reliance Energy and Hitachi; Reliance Engineering and Siemens; Kalpataru Power Transmission Ltd, JMC and Intimin; Gammon India and Metrail Swiss; Videocon and Aerospace; and Bombardier Transportation India.

Sources said the Melewar Group, which is bidding for the Penang monorail project, was not among the consortia bidding for the India project.

Scomi is also in the race for at least three more monorail projects in India.

StarBiz learnt that the Mumbai Transportation Redevelopment Authority (MTRA), which called for the tender, imposed very stringent qualification standards.
