BEML Wins ₹4.05 Billion Contract from Bengaluru Metro, Enhancing Urban Mobility

BEML Limited, a prestigious public sector enterprise, has won a major order of around ₹4.05 billion from the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) for the Bengaluru Metro Rail Projects. This latest news, announced on March 27, 2025, is another landmark in BEML's long-standing association with BMRCL and solidifies its position as one of the premier players in India's urban mobility space.

 

Key points:

 

Though the details of the contract are not known, this new order is likely to help in the further expansion of Bengaluru's metro network. The metro network in the city has been expanding fast, with Phase 2, 2A, and 2B projects already under different stages of development.

 

This agreement is just less than two years since BEML's landmark order from BMRCL in August 2023 to supply 318 coaches and maintenance of 15 years' comprehensive for ₹3,177 crore. The new agreement probably complements or follows BEML's interest in Bengaluru metro projects.

 

BEML's sustained success in bagging contracts for Bengaluru Metro highlights the capabilities of the company in producing and delivering quality rolling stock for urban transport networks. It also reflects on the aggressive investment within India's urban infrastructure, especially within public transport.

 

As Bengaluru continues to struggle with traffic jams, the growth of its metro rail network is pivotal in enhancing city mobility. BEML's involvement in the expansion highlights the role of local manufacturing capacity in India's infrastructure expansion.
