The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is planning to allow advertisements on its trains to generate revenue.

tender for this purpose, ensuring that the windows will remain advertisement-free. BMRCL had previously opted out of train advertisements to preserve the aesthetic of the trains, but the ban on outdoor advertisements by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) in 2018 impacted their revenue from advertisements on metro pillars and medians. The BMRCL network is expected to expand significantly in the coming years, reaching 175 km by 2025-26 and 317 km by 2031.

Iske liye jaldi hi tender float kiya jaayega, yeh pakka hai ki trains ki khidkiyon pe advertisements nahi honge. BMRCL pehle trains pe advertisements nahi chahta tha, taaki trains ka aesthetic bana rahe, lekin 2018 me Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) ne outdoor advertisements pe ban lagaya tha, jisse metro pillars aur medians pe advertisements se aane wali revenue pe asar pada tha. BMRCL network aane waale saalon me bahut bada hone wala hai, 2025-26 tak 175 km aur 2031 tak 317 km tak pahunch jaayega.

reduced it to 85.707 acres. The BSRP has awarded a contract to L&T Limited for the design and construction of viaducts for Corridor 4. The project faced delays due to alignment approval and land acquisition issues but has now commenced after these hurdles were cleared. The SWR has approved the revised alignment plan for Corridor 4, and K-RIDE is working on utility shifts, private land acquisition, and other physical hurdles for the corridor. Corridor 4 is expected to be completed by December 2026, with 19 stations. Meanwhile, K-RIDE has submitted a revised alignment for Corridor 1 (KSR Bengaluru-Devanahalli/Airport) to the SWR. The Minister for Infrastructure Development, MB Patil, has set a December 2027 deadline for Corridor 1, with the first phase focusing on the Yelahanka-Devanahalli section to be completed by December 2026, and the second phase covering the KSR Bengaluru-Yelahanka section to be ready by December 2027. The Rs 15,767-crore project, initiated in June 2022, has faced delays and challenges, including coordination issues between K-RIDE and the railways. Civil work contracts have been awarded for only two of the four corridors. The SWR has indicated their willingness to take over the project if necessary.

BSRP ne Corridor 4 ke liye viaducts ke design and construction ke liye L&T Limited ko contract diya hai. Project me alignment approval aur zameen acquisition se related issues ki wajah se delay aaya tha, lekin ab yeh issues clear ho gaye hain aur project start ho gaya hai. SWR ne Corridor 4 ke liye revised alignment plan ko approve kiya hai, aur K-RIDE utility shifts, private zameen acquisition, aur corridor ke liye doosre physical hurdles par kaam kar raha hai. Corridor 4 December 2026 tak complete hone ki ummeed hai, jisme 19 stations honge. Iske saath hi, K-RIDE ne Corridor 1 (KSR Bengaluru-Devanahalli/Airport) ke liye SWR ko revised alignment submit kiya hai. Infrastructure Development ke minister, MB Patil, ne Corridor 1 ke liye December 2027 ki deadline di hai, jiska pehla phase Yelahanka-Devanahalli section par focus karega, jiska December 2026 tak complete hone ka lakshya hai, aur doosra phase KSR Bengaluru-Yelahanka section ko cover karega, jiska December 2027 tak ready hone ka lakshya hai. Rs 15,767 crore ka yeh project, June 2022 me shuru hua tha, lekin isme delay aur challenges aaye hain, jisme K-RIDE aur railways ke beech coordination issue bhi shamil hain. Chaar corridors mein se sirf do corridors ke liye civil work contract award kiye gaye hain. SWR ne yeh bataya hai ki agar zarurat padi toh woh project ko apne hath mein le sakte hain.
