Despite ₹65 lakh tender, rainwater harvesting plans of Namma Metro in Bengaluru remain on paper

The Hindu  

In a city grappling with water shortage and a plummeting groundwater table, the implementation of rainwater harvesting remains a distant reality. This is true of not just residential and commercial structures, but the Namma Metro too, despite a ₹65 lakh tender floated by the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited. “Our investigation reveals that only 30 rainwater harvesting systems are currently operational at metro stations along the Purple and Green Lines. “A ₹65 lakh tender was announced in March 2024 for new RWH structures but was initially discharged due to a lack of response. As of March 2024, a total of 1,96,591 residential buildings in Bengaluru have implemented rainwater harvesting systems, while 39,213 buildings remain non-compliant despite facing monthly penalties.
