OJSC Mosmetrostroy (Russian: Мосметрострой, abbr. of "Moscow Metro Construction [Department]") is a major Russian construction company,[2] which deals with solving engineering problems related to performance of a wide range of under and above-ground works. The company is the successor of the Metrostroy Department formed in 1931 to set a new branch of construction industry — metro and tunnel construction.[3] In eight decades Mosmetrostroy has constructed 180 metro stations in Moscow[4] along with implementing its projects throughout the post-Soviet space and abroad. At the present moment Mosmetrostroy acts as general contractor building metro stations in Moscow[5] and has won a contract to construct a segment of Mumbai Metro Rail's underground line.[6] via a joint venture with Hindustan Construction Company Ltd.

Earlier it had been awarded two contract packages to performing tunnelling and station construction in consortium with Gammon India Ltd. in Chennai, India.[7] [8] [9] However it abandoned the Chennai Metro Rail project partway through after its requests for cost escalation were denied. The contract was terminated, and the subsequent court case allowed re-tendering of the remaining work to other vendors [10] [11]
