BEML Wins New ₹414-Cr Order to Expand Bengaluru Metro Fleet

BEML Limited has landed a new ₹414-crore order from the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), giving a strong push to Bengaluru’s growing metro network.

The deal expands the scope of the driverless metro project under Phase 2 (Reach 5), raising the total supply from 60 trainsets to 66 driverless trainsets for the Bangalore Metro Rail Project.

The latest order adds six more fully automated trainsets—36 additional cars—that will run on the Yellow Line. These trains will work smoothly with the Siemens signaling system, improving capacity and creating a more reliable urban transit experience for the city.

Built at BEML’s advanced facilities in Bengaluru, the new trainsets are made with high-tensile Austenitic stainless steel for strength and long life. Each six-car set includes two roof-mounted saloon air-conditioners in every car, aiming to give passengers a comfortable ride.

This expansion is part of Contract 5RS-DM, awarded in August 2023 through global bidding. The base contract, worth about ₹3,177 crore, covers design, manufacturing, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and long-term maintenance for up to 15 years.

Shantanu Roy, Chairman & Managing Director, BEML Limited, said: “We are pleased to receive this repeat order from BMRCL, reinforcing our deep partnership and the trust placed in BEML’s technological and engineering capabilities. These additional trainsets will significantly expand the operational capacity of Bengaluru Metro and support the city’s fast-growing mobility needs. BEML remains committed to delivering world-class, energy-efficient, and reliable metro solutions for India’s urban transit systems.”

Earlier in March 2025, BMRCL placed another ₹405-crore order for 42 cars for Reach 6, further solidifying BEML’s position as Bengaluru’s leading metro rolling stock supplier.
