Things are finally moving rapidly for the 148-km Bengaluru Suburban Railway Project (BSRP).
The much-delayed project has received a boost as three companies, including a Spanish MNC, have shown interest in supplying and maintaining 306 air-conditioned, metro-like coaches and providing train operators.
Rail Infrastructure Development Company (Karnataka) stated on Wednesday that it had received Requests for Qualification (RFQs) from Spanish company Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF), and Indian PSUs — Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) and Bharat Earthmovers Ltd (BEML).
