K-RIDE to appoint Detailed Design Consultant for Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project

Bengaluru, India (Rail & Metro Today): A tender has been invited for Detailed Design Consultancy (DDC) services for a 7.795-km elevated section of the Bengaluru Suburban Transport Project (BSTP), covering complex viaduct structures, a double-decker rail-cum-road flyover, a double-decker station and associated infrastructure across multiple corridors.

The consultancy package covers infrastructure associated with Corridors 1, 2 and 4, including the elevated section between Benniganahalli and Yeshwanthpur (YPR) Cabin on Corridor 2, part of the substructure works at Yeshwanthpur under Corridor 1, and road overbridges and a road underbridge under Corridor 4.

The deadline for submission of bids is October 14, 2026, at 3:00 pm IST.

Consultancy Covers Double-Decker Viaduct and Station

The primary component of the consultancy is the detailed design of approximately 7.795 km of elevated viaduct, including a double-decker structure combining rail and road infrastructure. The scope also includes a proposed double-decker station at Mathikere, entry and exit structures, road flyover ramps and a Y-loop ramp.

The consultant will also be responsible for design-related works associated with the BSTP viaduct ramp at Benniganahalli, Hebbal and YPR Cabin foot overbridges (FOBs), along with multimodal integration facilities and other related infrastructure.

The combination of railway viaducts, road flyovers, ramps and station infrastructure makes the package a technically complex component of Bengaluru's expanding suburban transport system.

Works Span Three Corridors

Under Corridor 2, the consultancy covers the elevated section between Benniganahalli and YPR Cabin, including the double-decker rail-cum-road flyover and associated structures.

The package also includes part of the substructure works at Yeshwanthpur under Corridor 1. For Corridor 4, the design consultancy covers four road overbridges (RoBs) and one road underbridge (RuB).

The scope brings together several types of transport infrastructure within a single consultancy package, requiring coordinated design for rail operations, road traffic, station access and multimodal integration.

Multimodal Integration and Supporting Infrastructure

In addition to viaduct and bridge structures, the consultancy includes entry and exit facilities, road flyover ramps, foot overbridges and other associated infrastructure. Multimodal integration works are also part of the package, reflecting the need to coordinate suburban rail facilities with other transport modes and passenger access arrangements.

Detailed design consultancy is a key preparatory stage for major infrastructure construction. It establishes the engineering designs and technical provisions required to take civil works forward, subject to the project's applicable approvals and implementation processes.
