BEML is a leading contender for the Mumbai Suburban Railway Network upgrade project, which aims to modernize the system by 2035. The tender, expected by August 2025, involves supplying 2,856 air-conditioned Vande Metro coaches with features like automatic doors. The project, valued at Rs 30,000-40,000 crore, includes procurement, maintenance, and facility upgrades. BEML faces competition from firms like Alstom and CAF as Mumbai’s suburban rail, carrying over 7.5 million daily commuters, moves toward a high-tech transformation.
