Cabinet approves five major infra projects: 3 metros, 2 airports

Bengaluru’s ever-expanding metro network is set to grow further with the Cabinet’s approval of Phase-3 of the Bangalore Metro Rail Project. The project, with an estimated cost of Rs. 15,611 crore, will add two new elevated corridors totaling 44.65 km, comprising 31 stations.

This expansion aims to bring previously underserved areas into the metro fold, enhancing connectivity and reducing traffic congestion in the city known as India’s tech capital.

Corridor 1 will stretch 32.15 km from JP Nagar 4th Phase to Kempapura along the Outer Ring Road West, covering 21 stations. This corridor will link vital industrial and residential areas, including the Peenya Industrial Area, the IT sectors on Bannerghatta Road and Outer Ring Road, and educational institutions like PES University and Dayanand Sagar University.

Corridor 2 will extend 12.50 km from Hosahalli to Kadabagere along Magadi Road, incorporating 9 stations. This corridor will serve the western part of Bengaluru, providing much-needed relief to congested routes and offering improved last-mile connectivity.
