BENGALURU: The Rs 15,767-crore Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project has been allocated just Rs 400 crore in the budget, against the Rs 1,300 crore that was sought for. The allocation is only 31% of its requirement. K-RIDE, the nodal agency for the implementation of the project stated that the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) had previously requested the State for the same. Out of the 148.17-km project, the contract has been awarded to only two of the four corridors presently – Corridor-2 from Baiyappanahalli Terminal to Chikkabanavara and Corridor-4 from Heelalige to Rajanakunte.
