Over two years after approval, BMRCL invites global firms for Namma Metro Phase-3 Orange Line consultancy
The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has invited global firms to provide consultancy services for the Namma Metro Phase-3 Orange Line. The project, which has faced delays, will add 31 stations across two corridors and is partially funded by a JICA loan.
Why it matters
Infrastructure expansion is critical for urban development and public transportation efficiency in rapidly growing cities like Bengaluru.
More than two years after approval, Phase 3 of Namma Metro , which is also called Orange Line, has moved a step forward with BMRCL inviting Indian and international firms to take up the General Consultancy for the 44.65-km project in Bengaluru. The expansion will add 31 stations across two corridors to the Namma Metro network in Bengaluru.
BMRCL recently invited Expression of Interest (EOI) from Indian and international consultancy firms to take up the General Consultancy for the two corridors.
According to BMRCL EOI documents, under Phase-3, Corridor-1 will run for 32.15 km from J.P. Nagar 4th Phase to Kempapura, and will have 22 stations. Corridor-2 will cover 12.50 km from Hosahalli to Kadabagere, and will have nine stations. A common maintenance depot for both corridors has been proposed at Sunkadakatte.
