Schindler has been selected to supply and install 180 escalators for the Bangalore Metro Rail Phase-2 project’s two additional routes.
The project by the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation will connect Bengaluru’s tech hub to Bangalore International Airport by integrating the Metro network with the city’s other urban transportation systems.
Phase-2 of the project, which is expected to be finished in 2026, will encourage public transportation in Bengaluru’s Information Technology (IT) district, with the goal of reducing traffic congestion in the city.
The project has been broken down into elevated reach extensions and underground parts. Schindler was chosen for the project because it will incorporate 140 escalators for the new Yellow Line route connecting Bengaluru with Electronic City.
In addition, Schindler will deliver and install 40 escalators for the new Pink Line north-south route through the city. The stations will be able to transport an additional 370,000 passengers a day.
