Bengaluru Metro, often under fire for its sluggish pace of construction, is preparing to float tenders for civil work for its long-pending Phase 3, more than a year after getting the Centre’s approval.

Phase 3, or the Orange Line, comprises two corridors — JP Nagar 4th Phase-Kempapura stretch along ORR West (32.1 km) and Hosahalli–Kadabagere line along Magadi Road (12.5 km) — together spanning 44.6 km.

“We are planning to invite civil work tenders by the end of this month or the first week of November,” a senior BMRCL official told Moneycontrol.

Moneycontrol wrote that the Phase 3 was facing delays due to the state’s insistence on integrating flyovers.
