Two years after the idea was floated, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Devel-opment Authority (MMRDA) has invited a Request for Proposal (RfP) for purchase and maintenance of fully-built air-conditioned hybrid electric buses to enhance connectivity between the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and the Kurla, Bandra and Sion stations at the earliest.

An MMRDA official said, “We want office-goers travelling to BKC from Bandra, Kurla and Sion to have better commuting facilities, so we invited the RfP from eligible and reputed national and international bus producers with manufacturing facilities in India (as per guidelines of Department of Heavy Industries, GoI) for purchase and maintenance of 25 fully built air-conditioned hybrid buses of various models for the BKC for 10 years.”
