After three years of indecisiveness, the issue of accommodating the Bettahalasur Metro station on the KR Puram-Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) line has finally been resolved.
DC Nataraj, the chief engineer of Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL), has confirmed that the station will be constructed as originally planned through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The Embassy Group will provide the funding, while BMRCL will oversee the construction.
A formal Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between BMRCL and the Embassy Group will be signed shortly, with the Embassy Group already making an initial contribution of One INR-Crore for the station. The station will be positioned between Bagalur Cross and Doddajala stations, with an approximate cost of 140 INR–Crores.
Additionally, the inclusion of the Jakkur Plantation station on the airport line, which was also uncertain, has been confirmed. This station will be jointly constructed by Bagmane and Century Group, located between the GFTS Campus and Kogilu Cross, with a budget of 120 INR–Crores.
The Airport Line spans 36.44 km and is divided into three packages: K R Puram to Hebbal (Package 1), Hebbal to IAF Campus (Package 2), and IAF to KIA (Package 3). The entire line is expected to be completed by June 2026.
