Bengaluru Metro Expansion

Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is set to significantly enhance the city's metro network by adding 16 new interchange stations. This expansion, part of Phases 2 and 3 of the Namma Metro project, aims to provide seamless connectivity across various metro lines, encouraging greater use of public transport.

Currently, the Nadaprabhu Kempegowda station at Majestic is Bengaluru?s only interchange, connecting the Purple and Green lines. It handles approximately 50,000 daily commuters.
