Chennai Metro Rail Corporation (CMRL) on Tuesday floated a tender seeking a consultant to prepare the feasibility study for South India’s first inter-state metro connecting the industrial hub of Hosur with Bommasandra in Bengaluru.
The tender was issued five months after the Union Government approved the conduct of a feasibility study in February this year. The approval came after the Tamil Nadu government, which is funding the study, wrote to the Centre expressing interest to explore the possibility of connecting Hosur with Bengaluru through the metro system.
A government source said the tender document was also seen by officials of the Bengaluru Metro before it was published.
