Mumbai firm to prepare DRP for Sarjapur Road-Hebbal metro line

Mumbai-based firm RINA Consulting has won the contract to prepare the detailed project report (DPR) for Namma Metro’s Phase III (B) project.

The 37-km metro line, announced by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in the last budget, will connect Sarjapur Road and Hebbal that will run through the heart of
Bengaluru.

The stretch will have both underground and elevated portions. In all, 10 firms participated in the tenders for preparing the DPR, an extensive work that could take a minimum of eight months to complete.

The Phase III (B) stretch, which will have a mix of elevated and underground lines, is expected to pass through Agara, Koramangala and Dairy Circle.
