Bengaluru Suburban Railway Project secures external funding of Rs 7,438 crore

The Bengaluru Suburban Railway Project (BSRP), a 149-km rail network aimed at improving intracity commute in Bengaluru, has secured the full €800 million external funding required for its completion. The funding comes from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the German investment bank KfW, with €300 million and €500 million respectively....

This funding will be used to expedite the project, including tenders for Corridor 1, Depot 2, track and traction works. The project, with a total cost of Rs 15,767 crore, is funded 60% by foreign agencies and 40% by the Indian government. The BSRP comprises four corridors and two depots, with groundwork underway on Corridor 2 (Mallige Line) and Corridor 4 (Kanaka Line). Pre-construction work has begun on Corridor 1 (Sampige Line), and initial groundwork is underway on Corridor 3 (Kengeri-Whitefield). The project is expected to be completed by 2028, with the initial deadline of October 2025 unlikely to be met.

public transport, could negatively affect the city's ecosystem. Citizens suggest that the existing railway network can be utilized by implementing signal automation and track doubling, thus reducing tree felling. They also demand a comprehensive compensatory plantation strategy and greater transparency regarding the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Social Impact Assessment reports. While acknowledging the project's importance, organizations like the Namma Bengaluru Foundation and Jhatkaa.org advocate for minimizing the environmental impact and exploring alternative approaches that are more sustainable for the city.
