BEML is Bharat Earth Movers Ltd. which is a heavy engineering industry that is alreadt into railway business. This is a mockup of the Skybus, there are sadly no working models anywhere. A working track is planned between Panaji and Mapusa in Goa.

Apurva/Neil:
These two skybus units are working units, not just mockups. At the time the photo was taken there was only this much track (seen here) and hence obviously they could not be run. Now, a 1.6kms long test track is being constructed in Madgaon (scheduled for completion in April 2004) and these same prototypes will be run on this test tracks.
See http://www.sky-bus-metro.com for more details and pictures.

What is BEML? And are these just concept trains or is there a working example of such trains in India?
