Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is acquiring over 9,000 square metre of defence land to facilitate the construction of an integrated metro station at Iblur on the Outer Ring Road. The proposed integrated metro station will link the ORR-Airport metro line and the Sarjapur to Hebbal metro line that was recently announced by the State government.
BMRCL has already initiated the process of acquiring the land that is required for construction of the metro station for future expansion plans. This will be the first land acquisition for a project that is still in the planning stage
If all goes as planned, the integrated metro station at Iblur will help commuters from ORR reach Central Business Districts areas such as Town Hall, Central College and Cunningham Road among others.
