The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) has roped in IL&FS Engineering and Construction Company Pvt Ltd to complete the remaining civil works of the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) metro station off Tumakuru Road.
The corporation decided to bring in the cash-strapped Mumbai company since cash-rich companies refused to execute such a “small quantity” of work, estimated to cost Rs 35 crore, it has been reliably learnt.
Construction of the BIEC metro station on the 3.03-km extension of Tumakuru Road along with two other stations was awarded to Simplex Infrastructures Ltd in February 2017. By now, the project should have been completed had the company followed the BMRCL’s deadline.
