History

    BMRCL awarded the ₹182.33 crore Airport Depot (Doddajala) civil works contract to a J Kumar Infraprojects–AIC Infrastructures joint venture. [1]

    ₹182.33 cr Part figure: Airport depot civil works only [1]

    Funder: external · FY 2022-23

    Context

    Airport Depot (Doddajala) civil works, awarded to a J Kumar Infraprojects–AIC Infrastructures joint venture (J Kumar's stake ≈₹100.29 cr excl. GST); BMRCL's own estimate had been ₹204.68 cr. Phase 2B is financed in part by a US$500 million Asian Development Bank loan approved December 2020 — this entry covers only the depot package, not the whole phase.

Sanctioned, released and spent are different things: an allocation is not evidence money was spent. Part figures cover one contract, loan or package and are never used as the project's cost.

  1. Bangalore Metro Rail Awards J Kumar-AICPL JV With Rs. 182 Crore Contract For Blue Line's Airport DepotMetro Rail News · news
Notes and caveats

The combined Phase 2A+2B cost figure (₹14,788.101 cr, 58.19 km) is recorded once, on blue-line-phase-2a, to avoid double-counting in this site's aggregate totals — see that project's notes for the figure and its funding breakdown. One package-level contract specific to this phase is on file here: ₹182.33 cr for the Airport Depot at Doddajala (J Kumar–AIC Infrastructures JV, awarded 2023-03-21), a small fraction of the whole 38.44 km phase, not a project total.
