The Bengaluru Smart Infrastructure Limited (B-SMILE) has once again cancelled tenders for two elevated corridor projects and reissued them on the same day with reduced estimated project costs.

In a notification issued on Thursday, the B-SMILE said the two tenders had been cancelled due to technical reasons, as instructed by the competent authority, which is the Urban Development Department (UDD) in this case.

The cancelled and reissued tenders include the elevated corridor from Minerva Circle to Hudson Circle, a loop flyover from the Balagangadharanatha Swamiji flyover to Town Hall, and the elevated corridor from Anand Rao Circle to K.R. Circle. The second tender pertains to the elevated corridor from Sholay Circle to St. John’s Hospital on Hosur Road via Anepalya and Adugodi junctions.
