Hope SNC wins this tender, just look at the gr8 job they have done in Namma Metro Phase 2A. I’m sure they will do gud job for BSRP.
Hey TMRG,
The overview page for suburban rail mentions that only about 8km is under construction. Is that correct? I thought civil work on 2 corridors was already underway.
