NCC Limited has received the Letter of Acceptance (LoA) from Karnataka’s Rail Infrastructure Development Company (K-RIDE) for Package C4B of the Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project (BSRP), covering the design and construction of nine stations on Corridor four, also known as the Kanaka Line.

The 46.88 km Corridor four stretches from Heelalige to Rajanukunte, with Package C4B specifically including stations at Channasandra, Horamavu, Hennur, Thanisandra, R. K. Hegdenagar, Jakkur, Yelahanka, Muddanahalli and Rajankunte. The package comprises one elevated and eight at-grade stations.

NCC emerged as the sole qualified bidder after technical bids from RVNL–Rithwik Joint Venture were rejected. NCC’s winning bid stands at Rs 6.49 billion, above the estimated cost of Rs 5.28 billion, with a contract period of two years.

The scope includes civil construction, architectural finishes, entry and exit structures, steel foot overbridges, pre-engineered building (PEB) roofs, and electrical and mechanical works. Detailed design and engineering responsibilities are also part of the contract.

Earlier in January 2025, NCC was also awarded Package C2-A worth Rs 5.01 billion for constructing eight stations on Corridor 2 (Mallige Line).
