Project record
West Bengal 45-jetty contract ledger
West Bengal Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation's 45-location passenger-jetty programme can now be traced through 21 direct works awards in the World Bank supplier-contract dataset: 13 contracts for the 29 Phase I jetties and eight contracts for the 16 Phase II jetties. The reported supplier commitments total USD 24,836,527.26. That arithmetic closes the prime-contract map, not the delivery record: the latest implementation report contains incompatible statements on whether Metiabruze remains under implementation or all 45 jetties are complete.

- Contract route
- The identified works were procured through World Bank-financed national Request for Bids packages under P166020. Phase I's main package, IN-WBTIDCL-145628-CW-RFB, produced 12 signed lot awards on 7 January 2021; its second call produced one award on 20 June 2022. Phase II's 15-location first call produced five lot awards on 4 April 2024, the four-location second call produced two awards on 16 August 2024, and Kukrahati was signed on 6 March 2024. July 2026 STEP data keep all five package rows at Signed rather than publishing actual contract-completion dates.
- Execution window
- The 13 Phase I contracts cover 29 jetties; their published planned completion dates have passed. The eight Phase II contracts cover 16 jetties, with the latest procurement plan showing planned completion in May, June and October 2025 depending on package. On 22 June 2026 the ISR narrative reported 44 of 45 locations complete and Metiabruze under implementation, while the same report's results table said all 45 were complete. The project currently closes on 30 September 2026; the June restructuring paper describes a possible second extension to September 2027 as contingent.
- Works package
- The award map covers design, fabrication, installation or reconstruction and commissioning of gangway-cum-pontoon and floating passenger jetties, plus passenger facilities and amenities, at 45 Hooghly River and connected inland-waterway locations. Phase I's main awards name 27 locations, and the second call adds Chandpal Ghat-2 and Noorpur. Phase II comprises the 15-location package plus Kukrahati; the separately published four-location second-call lots form part of that Phase II procurement chain rather than four additional programme locations.
- Marine interfaces
- The works combine floating pontoons, steel gangways, piles and moorings with tidal-river levels, vessel approaches, live ferry services, shore-side passenger access, utilities, accessibility and statutory vessel or structure requirements. The public contract descriptions do not establish pontoon dimensions, gangway spans, pile schedules, marine spreads, fabricators, electrical suppliers, tests, as-built quantities or acceptance at each location.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- The 21 supplier commitments sum to USD 24,836,527.26: USD 14,169,203.22 for the 13 Phase I contracts and USD 10,667,324.04 for the eight Phase II contracts. These are reproducible award-dataset amounts, not certified payments or final costs. They should not be compared with procurement estimates as savings without variation, quantity, retention, defects and final-account evidence.

- Status
- Reported
- Source position
- The 22 June 2026 ISR narrative says upgrades are complete at 44 of 45 locations and Metiabruze remains under implementation. Its results table says all 29 Phase I and all 16 Phase II jetties are complete. Neither statement supplies a location acceptance ledger. Source
Evidence gap
What remains unverified
Outstanding evidence
- Corrected World Bank or WBTIDCL statement reconciling 44 and 45 completed locations
- Metiabruze physical completion, commissioning and owner acceptance
- Location-by-location acceptance dates for all 29 Phase I and 16 Phase II jetties
- Pontoon, gangway, pile, mooring and passenger-facility as-built scope
- Fabricators, piling contractors, marine plant, electrical and civil lower tiers
- Final values, variations, certified payments, retention and defects obligations for all 21 contracts
- Actual completion fields replacing Signed-only package states in STEP
- Any September 2027 extension and its effect on unresolved package closeout
