A consortium led by Siemens has secured a significant ?7.66 billion contract from Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) for the supply of signaling and train control systems. This contract underscores the ongoing expansion and enhancement efforts of Bangalore's metro network to meet the city's growing urban transportation demands.

The contract includes the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of communications-based train control (CBTC) and automatic fare collection (AFC) systems for the upcoming sections of Bangalore Metro Phase 2A and Phase 2B. These systems are critical for ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable operations of the metro network.

Siemens, a global leader in technology and engineering solutions, will play a pivotal role in implementing state-of-the-art signaling technology that enhances train frequency, reduces travel time, and improves passenger experience. The consortium's expertise in delivering complex infrastructure projects aligns with BMRCL's vision to transform Bangalore into a smart city with world-class metro connectivity.

The Bangalore Metro expansion is part of the city's comprehensive urban mobility strategy aimed at easing traffic congestion, reducing pollution, and promoting sustainable transport solutions. The integration of advanced signaling and fare collection systems is expected to elevate the metro's operational efficiency and capacity, catering to the increasing ridership demands.

With this contract, Siemens and its consortium partners reaffirm their commitment to supporting India's infrastructure development goals and contributing to the country's sustainable growth trajectory. The project is set to enhance Bangalore's metro infrastructure significantly, benefiting millions of commuters and furthering the city's reputation as a hub of technological innovation.
