Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation

Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), headquartered in India, is a joint venture between the Government of India and the State Government of Karnataka. Established in 2011, BMRCL is responsible for constructing, operating and expanding the Namma Metro network in Bengaluru. It is the second longest operational metro network in India, spanning 73.75 kilometres and transporting about 485,000 passengers daily.

Summary

BMRCL performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with clear potential to improve its reporting on a substantial number of sustainability topics. The company shows responsible tax practices by disclosing its current, deferred and total income tax expenses. It also commits to equal opportunity in the workplace and has a whistleblowing system for employees to report unethical practices. However, the company should consider extending its non-discrimination commitment to users and customers, and it should clarify whether its whistleblowing mechanism is available to external stakeholders.

BMRCL’s lack of disclosure on key sustainability topics makes it difficult to fully assess its impact on people and the planet. To foster transparency and positive change, BMRCL should identify its most significant sustainability risks and opportunities through a materiality assessment and publish a sustainability strategy that integrates these priorities into its overall business strategy. It should also assign clear accountability for strategy oversight to the highest governing body, such as its board of directors. The company should also disclose its policy commitments to respect human rights. Furthermore, BMRCL should establish measurable, time-bound and, where possible, science-based targets to reduce negative impacts, while regularly reporting progress against its sustainability goals.
