From skyscrapercity.com:
| Quote: | Bangalore is located in Southern India and is considered the Silicon Valley of India. The project was conceived back in the 90's but it finally got through in 2006. Construction actually began on Apr15 this year. Right now 2 lines are planned for Phase I. Out of the 33kms of Phase I, 6.7kms would be underground. The first train plans to roll out in March 2010 and Phase I would be completed by March2011
This is India's third metro project[1st-Kolkata,2nd-New Delhi]. Hyderabad,another city in South India plans to start work on its metro by this October.[The tendering process closes in July]. 3 lines consisting of 66kms would be handed to one consortium.
Work on Mumbai's metro would begin this September after the monsoons are over. Work for Line1 has been handed to an SPV consisting of Reliace[India]&Veolia[France]&MMRDA[India]. Bids for Line2 came in just 5 days ago.
