The planned work includes Red Line North (RLN), Red Line South (RLS), Green Line (GLN), and several major stations.

These metro lines will link major sites such as Education City, West Bay, Lusail, Hamad Bin Khalifa International Airport, and the Qatar National Convention Centre, as well as stadiums for the 2022 World Cup.

For the RLN project, Qatar Rail has selected a consortium led by Italian construction firm Impregilo, comprising South Korea’s SK Engineering & Construction, and Qatar’s Galfar al-Misnad Engineering and Contracting.

The Green Line project was awarded to a consortium comprising Saudi Binladin Group and Qatar’s Hamad Bin Khalid Contracting, and led by PORR Bau.

In May 2013, a consortium of Spanish construction and civil engineering firm Obrascon Huarte Lain (OHL), Samsung C&T, and Qatar Building Company, won a €1.1bn contract from Qatar Rail to build two stations for the Doha Metro.
