The civic body plans to replace manual labour with mechanised cleaning to improve maintenance of road infrastructure and greenery. The purchase is estimated at Rs 82.8 million (mn), excluding GST.

The proposal sets the base price of each machine at about Rs 20.7 million (mn) so four units total Rs 82.8 million (mn) before GST. 18 per cent GST will be applicable separately. During the warranty period each machine will operate for eight hours a day in a single shift.

The daily operating cost during warranty is estimated at around Rs 18,540 per machine and is likely to rise to about Rs 18,990 per machine per day after the warranty ends. A five-year operation and maintenance contract will accompany the purchase to ensure ongoing upkeep. The lowest bid from City Lifeline Travels Pvt. Ltd. has been accepted in the tender process.

The proposal has been placed before the AMC Standing Committee for final approval and the civic body awaits a decision to proceed with procurement and deployment. Once approved the machines will be deployed on selected busy corridors for guard rail cleaning and related maintenance tasks. Officials expect mechanisation to deliver more consistent cleaning and reduce reliance on manual crews.

The machines are intended to work on major roads model roads and the central verges of BRTS and Metro routes to maintain visible infrastructure hygiene and support urban upkeep. The five-year contract will cover operation and maintenance to sustain functionality and efficiency over time. The civic administration will monitor performance and operating costs following deployment.
