The Namma Metro Phase 3 project will feature several key interchange stations. These include Peenya and JP Nagar stations on the Green Line, Mysuru Road Station on the Purple Line, and Sumanahalli Station on the Hosahalli-Kadabagere route. Notably, JP Nagar Phase 4 will connect with the Pink Line at Bannerghatta Road, while Hebbal will serve as an interchange for the Blue Line, which leads to the airport, and the Red Line that connects Hebbal to Serjapur. The project consists of two main corridors: Corridor 1, which is 32.15 kilometers long, stretches from JP Nagar Phase 4 to Kempapura, and Corridor 2, covering 12.5 kilometers from Hosahalli to Kadabagere. For Corridor 1, about 1,29,743 square meters of land have been earmarked, impacting 777 private properties. The total estimated cost for this land acquisition is around Rs 1,900 crore.
BMRCL officials have stated that the construction will include a double-decker viaduct, designed to avoid disrupting existing roads, flyovers, or underpasses. The overall estimated cost for Phase 3 is Rs 15,611 crore, with funding coming from various sources, including Rs 7,577 crore from loans and Rs 450 crore from revenue generated through advertising and station naming rights. The new metro lines are expected to accommodate around 7.28 lakh passengers daily by 2028, requiring a fleet of 252 coaches. As part of the preparation for Phase 3, a private company has begun geotechnical investigations along Magadi Road. These investigations will assess soil conditions to ensure the stability of the construction. The first phase of testing will occur from Mysuru Road Station to Kanteerava Studio Station, while the second phase will cover the area from Hosahalli Station to Kadabagere Depot. The total cost for these investigations is approximately Rs 5.49 crore, with completion anticipated within five months.
The land acquisition process covers several areas, including significant parcels in Nainappashetti Palya, Bilekahalli, Sarakki, and Jaraganahalli, among others. This project not only aims to improve the transit system but also to alleviate traffic congestion in Bangalore, which has been a growing concern for residents and commuters alike. With the completion of Phase 3, the Bangalore Metro is set to become a crucial part of the city's infrastructure, promoting sustainable urban transport and enhancing the quality of life for its citizens.
As the project progresses, BMRCL will continue to engage with local communities and stakeholders to address any concerns and ensure a smooth transition during the construction phase. The commitment to transparency and collaboration will be vital as Bangalore moves towards a more connected and efficient public transport system.
