  "summary": "Bhopal Metro is diversifying its revenue streams beyond ticket sales, with the corporation now exploring commercial opportunities through station branding. With daily ticketing revenue still below Rs 500, Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MPMRCL) has put eight stations in Bhopal up for semi-naming and co-branding rights, a move that could bring in significant revenue if brands compete for prime locations. The three-year branding tender includes stations such as MP Nagar and Rani Kamlapati, which are expected to attract advertisers due to their commercial importance.",
