₹150 crore error in Bengaluru Metro fare hike? Tejasvi Surya accuses BMRCL of miscalculation

Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya has raised serious concerns over the recent Bengaluru Metro fare hike, alleging a major calculation error by the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) that has led to commuters being overcharged by nearly ₹150 crore since the fare revision.

During a review meeting held on Tuesday, Surya said the BMRCL made a crucial mistake in determining the base year for maintenance and administrative (M&A) costs, which forms the foundation of the Fare Fixation Committee’s (FFC) report.
