37-km Namma Metro line from Sarjapur to Hebbal proposed

Unlike other mass transit systems that have been given a cold shoulder in the 2022-23 Budget, Namma Metro is set to expand. In his budget speech on Friday, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai announced a new metro line from Sarjapur to Hebbal. The estimated project cost for the 37-km line via Agara, Koramangala and Dairy Circle is ₹15,000 crore.  

When asked about the project, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) Managing Director Anjum Parwez told The Hindu that the proposed metro line would cover many areas in the Central Business District as well. “Around 16.80 km from Koramangala to Hebbal will be underground,” he said It will cover several important locations such as Bellandur, Agara, St John’s Hospital, NIMHANS, Central College, Cunningham Road, Mekhri Circle and others.
