Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has floated a tender worth Rs 589.9 million (mn) for the procurement and installation of a travelator to link the Yellow and Blue lines of the Bangalore Metro. The tender aims to improve passenger interchange between the two lines and to enhance accessibility for commuters at the interchange point. The equipment is expected to be integrated into existing station infrastructure to facilitate smoother transfers and to reduce transfer times. The tender invitation seeks bids from qualified firms in accordance with standard public procurement procedures. The scope of the tender includes supply, detailed design adaptation, civil interfaces, installation, testing and commissioning of the travelator along with associated ancillary works and safety systems. The provision of a moving walkway is intended to support passenger flow during peak periods and to assist those with luggage or reduced mobility. The project aligns with ongoing efforts to modernise station amenities and to improve the overall passenger experience on the metro network. BMRCL has structured the procurement to attract specialised suppliers with experience in urban transit conveyance systems and in the integration of electromechanical equipment within constrained station environments. The tender documentation sets out technical specifications, performance requirements and maintenance obligations to ensure long term reliability and availability. Bid evaluation is expected to balance technical compliance, project delivery capability and lifecycle cost considerations. The contract will include warranty and after sales support provisions to ensure continued performance. The move is part of broader initiatives to enhance last mile connectivity and interchange efficiency across the city's rapid transit network. Successful implementation is expected to ease passenger movement, provide a more comfortable transfer environment and contribute to higher operational efficiency. BMRCL will publish timelines for contract award and deployment following the completion of the tender evaluation process.
