BSR Wins Bangalore Metro Anjanapura Depot’s Work

June 19 Update: Contract to BSR Infratech has been awarded by BMRCL. Final value: Rs. 58,87,24,690

April 12 Original Post:

Per Bangalore Mirror, BSR Infratech has emerged as the lowest bidder for constructing Bangalore Metro’s new Anjanapura Depot on Kanakapura Road at the southern-end of the 30 km Green Line.

This small new depot is important to support train operations as the Green Line was just extended southward by 5.8 km to Silk Institute in January 2021 and will be extended northward to Madavar (BIEC) by another 3.77 km in late-2022 or 2023.

BMRCL was granted Stage 2 clearance for the depot’s construction in June 2020 by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change. Design details (number of stabling lines, workshop lines etc.) are still unknown at this time.

BMRCL had invited tenders for this contract of the 73.92 km Bangalore Metro Phase 2 project in October 2020 with a Rs. 69.29 crore estimate and 20 month completion deadline. Technical bids were opened on January 9, 2021 in which 8 bidders qualified through the technical evaluation stage.

Here are the bid values reported by Naveen Menezes:
