Fire-survival cables are crucial for metro safety. Hope BMRCL does proper quality checks and doesn't compromise on safety standards just because it's a foreign company. Safety first always!

Why can't we develop our own cable manufacturing capabilities in India? We have the talent and resources. Should focus on 'Make in India' rather than depending on foreign companies for such critical infrastructure.

Uninterrupted power supply for metro is much needed! The number of times metro stops due to power issues is frustrating. Hope this collaboration brings better reliability to our daily commute.

Good initiative but hope the pricing is competitive. Sometimes foreign companies charge premium prices citing "advanced technology" when similar quality is available from Indian manufacturers at better rates.

Hope they also consider environmental impact and sustainability. Bengaluru is already facing so many ecological challenges. Green infrastructure should be the priority for all new projects. 🌱
