B-SMILE cancels tenders for two elevated corridor projects again, re-floats on same day with new estimates

The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation’s B‑SMILE programme has withdrawn tenders for two elevated‑corridor projects and re‑issued them later the same day with revised cost estimates. Officials said the cancellations were due to unspecified technical issues, but did not disclose specifics. The projects are part of Bangalore’s effort to expand its rapid‑transit network, and the new estimates aim to address the identified concerns.
